The environment of weak emission-line quasars

Marek Nikolajuk, Roland Walter

The nature of weak emission-line quasars (WLQs) is probed by comparing the Baldwin effect (BEff) in WLQs and normal quasars (QSOs). We selected 81 high-redshift (z>2.2) and 2 inter…

Implementation and testing of the first prompt search for gravitational wave transients with electromagnetic counterparts

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, Virgo Collaboration, J. Abadie +815

Aims. A transient astrophysical event observed in both gravitational wave (GW) and electromagnetic (EM) channels would yield rich scientific rewards. A first program initiating EM…

The flare model for X-ray variability of NGC 4258

T. Trzesniewski, B. Czerny, V. Karas +4

We study the variability mechanism of active galactic nuclei (AGN) within the framework of the flare model. To this end we examine the case of Seyfert/LINER galaxy NGC 4258, which…

Classical mechanics of many particles defined on canonically deformed nonrelativistic space-time

Marcin Daszkiewicz, Cezary J. Walczyk

We provide the classical mechanics of many particles moving in canonically twist-deformed space-time. In particular, we consider two examples of such noncommutative systems - the s…
