Journal ArticleDOI

A sub-horizon framework for probing the relationship between the cosmological matter distribution and metric perturbations

TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between the metric and non-relativistic matter distribution is investigated using the ratio of the physical size of the perturbation to the size of a horizon as a small expansion parameter.
Journal ArticleDOI

Caltech Faint Galaxy Redshift Survey. VII. Data Analysis Techniques and Redshifts in the Field J0053+1234*

TL;DR: In this paper, the spectra of objects in the Caltech Faint Galaxy Redshift Survey in terms of spectral classes and redshift quality classes were used to determine redshifts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anisotropic induced Compton scattering - Constraints on models of active galactic nuclei

TL;DR: In this article, a model for nonlinear radiative transfer on a lattice is used to explore observational signatures of anisotropic induced Compton scattering, and some possible applications of these results to the interpretation of actual data on compact radio sources are outlined, and the FIR spectra of AGN are considered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Particle acceleration mechanisms

TL;DR: Particle acceleration is a fairly common channel for the release of large-scale kinetic, rotational, and magnetic energy as discussed by the authors, which is observed to proceed in a diverse variety of astrophysical sites ranging from the terrestrial aurorae to the most distant quasars.

The Second Catalog of Active Galactic Nuclei Detected by the Fermi Large Area Telescope

Markus Ackermann, +173 more
TL;DR: The second catalog of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) detected by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) in two years of scientific operation is presented in this paper, which includes 1017 γ-ray sources located at high Galactic latitudes (|b| > 10) that are detected with a test statistic (TS) greater than 25 and associated statistically with AGNs.
