I reminisce on my early life in Section 1;on my education in Sections 2 and 3;on the years at Princeton as a research astronomer in Section 4;on the years on the faculty at Chicago in Section 5;on research on Diffuse ...
AstroSat has surveyed M31 with the UVIT telescope from 2017 to 2019. The central bulge of M31 was observed in 2750 - 2850 A, 2000 - 2400 A, 1600 - 1850 A, 1450 - 1750 A, and 1200 - 1800 A filters. A radial profile ana...

How low surface brightness galaxies(LSBGs)form stars and assemble stellar mass is one of the most important questions related to understanding the LSBG population.We select a sample of 381 HI bright LSBGs with both fa...

Recent studies reveal that weak Lyα emission line may be a ubiquitous feature of nearby BL Laceratae objects(BL Lacs). We present a survey of the Lyα emission lines in BL Lacs, with a focus on data obtained by the C...

Warm Absorbers (WAs), as an important form of AGN outflows, show absorption in both the UV and X-ray bands. Using XSTAR generated photoionization models, for the first time we present a joint fit to the simultaneous...

We study the ages of a large sample (1802) of nearly face-on disk low surface brightness galaxies (LSBGs) using the evolutionary population synthesis (EPS) model PEGASE with an exponentially decreasing star form...

To study the origin of the soft X-ray excess,we compile a sample of 94 unobscured,radio-quiet QSOs and Seyfert galaxies with available data from GALEX and ROSAT.We find that 50 sources show strong soft X-ray excess an...

Based on measured broad line region sizes in the reverberation-mapping AGN sample, two new empirical relations are introduced to estimate the central black hole masses of radio-loud high-redshift (z 〉 0.5) AGNs. Fi...
Sufficient data show that there is a typical continuum of a power law from infrared to visual wavelengths in quasars and Seyfert 1 galaxies (F∝v^2, α is about—1)and such distribution can extrapolate to X-ray wave b...
