An extended and extremely thin gravitational arc from a lensed compact symmetric object at redshift 2.059

J. P. McKean, C. Spingola, D. M. Powell +1

Compact symmetric objects (CSOs) are thought to be short-lived radio sources with two lobes of emission that are separated by less than a kpc in projection. However, studies of suc…

A million-solar-mass object detected at cosmological distance using gravitational imaging

D. M. Powell, J. P. McKean, S. Vegetti +3

Structure on sub-galactic scales provides important tests of galaxy formation models and the nature of dark matter. However, such objects are typically too faint to provide robust…

MeerKAT discovery of 164 compact radio rings toward the Galactic Plane

C. Bordiu, F. Bufano, G. Umana +14

We report the discovery of 164 compact (radius < 1 arcmin) radio rings using MeerKAT 1.3 GHz data from the SARAO MeerKAT Galactic Plane Survey (l=2-60deg, 252-358deg, |b|<1.5deg) a…

Milli-arcsec X-ray positions and X-ray varstrometry for the strongly lensed AGN HE 0435-1223

Alysa Rogers, Daniel Schwartz, Cristiana Spingola +1

Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are some of the most powerful objects in the Universe. For this reason, they can be observed up to high redshifts (z), giving valuable insights into th…

High- radio Quasars in RACS I: Selection, identification, and multi-wavelength properties

L. Ighina, A. Caccianiga, A. Moretti +21

Radio-bright, jetted quasars at serve as unique laboratories for studying supermassive black hole activity in the early Universe. In this work, we present a sample of high-$z…

Intervening nuclear obscuration changing the X-ray look of the QSO CFHQS J164121+375520

Fabio Vito, William Nielsen Brandt, Andrea Comastri +16

X-ray observations of the optically selected QSO CFHQS J164121+375520 (hereafter J1641) revealed that its flux dropped by a factor from 2018, when it was a bri…
