چکیده
The z 1⁄4 2:286 IRAS galaxy F10214 þ 4724 remains one of the most luminous galaxies in the Universe, despite its gravitational lens magnification. We present optical and near-infrared spectra of F10214 þ 4724, with clear evidence for three distinct components: lines of width ,1000 km s from a Seyfert 2 nucleus; & 200 km s lines which are likely to be associated with star formation; and a broad (,4000 km s) C III] 1909-Å emission line which is blueshifted by ,1000 km s with respect to the Seyfert 2 lines. Our study of the Seyfert 2 component leads to several new results. (i) From the double-peaked structure in the Lya line, and the lack of Lyb, we argue that the Lya photons have emerged through a neutral column of NH , 2:5 × 10 m, possibly located within the AGN narrow-line region, as proposed for several high-redshift radio galaxies. (ii) The resonant O VI 1032, 1036-Å doublet (previously identified as Lyb) is in an optically thick (1:1) ratio. At face value this implies an extreme density (ne , 10 17 m) more typical of broad-line region clouds. However, we attribute this instead to the damping wings of Lyb from the resonant absorption. (iii) A tentative detection of He II 1086 suggests little extinction in the rest frame ultraviolet.

Spectroscopic Evidence That the Extreme Properties of Iras F 10214+4724 Are Due to Gravitational Lensing
The extreme bolometric luminosity of IRAS F 10214+4724, and in particular the huge mass in molecular gas inferred from the CO line uxes have led to suggestions that this is a giant galaxy in the process of formation. An arc-like structure and the closeness of a second object suggest, however, that gravitational lensing may be responsible for its anomalously high luminosity and mass. In this pap...

We use new high-resolution near-infrared spectroscopy and our previously published optical spectroscopy of the gravitationally lensed Seyfert 2 galaxy F10214+4724 to study both the links between the starburst and AGN in this object and the properties of the line-emitting clouds in the inner narrow-line region. Close inspection of the rest frame UV spectrum reveals interstellar or stellar absorp...

Context. Wide binaries are a potential pathway for the formation of hot Jupiters. The binary fraction among host stars is an important discriminator between competing formation theories, but has not been well characterised. Additionally, contaminating light from unresolved stars can significantly affect the accuracy of photometric and spectroscopic measurements in studies of transiting
