Co-evolution of bulges and black holes

TL;DR: In the present day universe, the global properties of bulges and early-type galaxies correlate with the mass of their central black holes, indicating a connection between galaxy evolution and nuclear activity as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Phenomena of High Energy Astrophysics

TL;DR: In this paper, a brief summary of some highlights in the study of high energy astrophysical sources over the past decade is presented, which is argued that the great progress that has been made derives largely from the application of new technology to observation throughout all of the electromagnetic and other spectra and that, on this basis, the next decade should be even more exciting.
Journal ArticleDOI

2016+112: A Gravitationally Lensed Type-II Quasar

TL;DR: In this article, a single-screen model of the gravitational lens system 2016+112 is proposed, that explains recent Hubble Space Telescope} (HST) infrared (NICMOS-F160W) observations and new high-resolution European VLBI Network (EVN) 5-GHz radio observations.
Journal Article

Pulsars and physics.

TL;DR: Pulsars have the potential for advancing our understanding of high energy nuclear physics and relativistic plasma physics and have also enlarged our horizons in atomic physics, quantum electrodynamics and solid state physics as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Structure of Magnetocentrifugal Winds I. Steady Mass Loading

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of time-dependent numerical simulations of cold, magnetocentrifugally launched winds from accretion disks are presented, showing that the degree of collimation of the wind increases with mass loading; however even the lightest wind simulated is significantly collimated compared with the force-free magnetic configuration of the same magnetic flux distribution.
