Dark energy constraints from quasar observations

B. Czerny, M. L. Martínez-Aldama, G. Wojtkowska +9

Recent measurements of the parameters of the Concordance Cosmology Model (CDM) done in the low-redshift Universe with Supernovae Ia/Cepheids, and in the distant Universe done wi…

Can reverberation-measured quasars be used for cosmology?

Mary Loli Martínez-Aldama, Bożena Czerny, Damian Kawka +4

Quasars have been proposed as a new class of standard candles analogous to Supernovae, as their large redshift range and high luminosities make them excellent candidates. Reverbera…

Tracing dark energy with quasars

J. Średzińska, B. Czerny, M. Bilicki +7

The nature of dark energy, driving the accelerated expansion of the Universe, is one of the most important issues in modern astrophysics. In order to understand this phenomenon, we…

Quasars as tracers of cosmic flows

J. Modzelewska, B. Czerny, M. Bilicki +6

Quasars, as the most luminous persistent sources in the Universe, have broad applications for cosmological studies. In particular, they can be employed to directly measure the expa…

Towards equation of state of dark energy from quasar monitoring: Reverberation strategy

B. Czerny, K. Hryniewicz, I. Maity +3

High redshift quasars can be used to deduce the distribution of dark energy in the Universe, as a complementary tool to SN Ia. The method is based on determination of the size of t…

Dusty origin of the Broad Line Region in active galaxies

Bozena Czerny, Krzysztof Hryniewicz, Janusz Kaluzny +1

The most characteristic property of active galaxies, including quasars, are prominent broad emission lines. I will discuss an interesting possibility that dust is responsible for t…

The hypothesis of the dust origin of the Broad Line Region in Active Galactic Nuclei

B. Czerny, K. Hryniewicz

Strong broad emission lines are the most important signatures of active galactic nuclei. These lines allowed to discover the cosmological nature of quasars, and at present these li…

Does Very Short Gamma Ray Bursts originate from Primordial Black Holes? Review

David B. Cline, Stan Otwinowski, Bozena Czerny +1

We present the state of current research of Very Short Gamma Ray Bursts (VSGRBs) from seven GRB detectors. We found that VSGRBs form distinct class of GRBs, which in our opinion, i…
