APAS 2000-001 Ancient Astronomy/World (taught spring 1997)
Research Interests:
The evolution of quasars and BL Lacertae objects.
The structure of extended radio galaxies.
The environment of active galaxies (Seyferts and radio galaxies) and its
effect in the active nucleus of these galaxies.
Very isolated galaxies
X-ray emission from quasars, Seyferts, BL Lac objects, and normal stars
Herbig-Haro objects as interstellar shock fronts and tracers of bipolar
outflows from young stars.
