Mixed-Morphology Pairs as a Breeding Ground for Active Nuclei

Mixed morphology pairs offer a simplification of the interaction equation that involves a gas-rich fast rotator paired with a gas-poor slow rotator. In past low resolution IRAS studies it was assumed that the bulk of the far infrared emission originated in the spiral component. However our ISO studies revealed a surprising number of early-type components with significant IR emission some of whi...

Observations of Active Galactic Nuclei with Ground-Based Cherenkov Telescopes

Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) allow us to observe Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) in the 100 GeV to 20 TeV energy range with high sensitivity. The TeV γ-ray observations of the nine blazars detected so far in this energy range reveal rapid flux and spectral variability on time scales of several hours, sometimes even on time scales of a few minutes. While simple synchrotron-Comp...

Morphology of the coronal line region in active galactic nuclei

We present new images⋆ of the coronal line region, as traced by [Si VII] 2.48 μm, in some of the nearest Seyfert 2 galaxies. In each of these galaxies, the coronal line emission comprises a bright, compact central source and extended emission showing broad alignment along a particular direction, usually coinciding with that defined by the radio emission or the extended narrow line region. The f...
