    The rotating wind of the quasar PG 1700+518

    Two groups this week present observational evidence to support long-held but unverified theories tackling similar astrophysical problems: the dissipation of angular momentum from accretion disks. Stars form wh...

    Large-scale magnetic fields in the outflow from the young stellar object T Tauri S

    T Tauri stars are young stellar objects, similar in mass to the Sun, that are completing the transition between a collapsing cloud and a main-sequence star powered by hydrogen fusion1. Many of these objects are a...

    Infrared polarimetry of the nucleus of Centaurus A: the nearest blazar?

    As one of the nearest examples of an active galaxy, NGC5128 (Centaurus A) has been studied in detail over a wide range of wavelengths1. The nucleus of the galaxy is seen clearly in the X-ray, radio and infrared, ...

    Discovery of a very red nucleus in the radio elliptical IC5063 (PKS2048 – 57)

    We report here the discovery of an extremely red IR source in the nucleus of the elliptical galaxy IC5063 (PKS2048 – 57). The observed (2.2–3.8) µm colour index within a 5 arc s aperture is 2.1 mag while the c...

    IR photometry and polarimetry of 2A0311–227

    The X-ray source 2A0311 – 227 has recently been identified with a star whose spectrum1 and polarization properties 2 show it to be an AM Herculis type binary. These binaries are thought to consist of a synchronou...

    New map of the optical polarisation of galaxy M82

    M82 is the nearest galaxy evidently containing a strong central source of energy, which is possibly similar to the nucleus of a Seyfert galaxy, and this seems to have given rise to an unusual explosive event1. Th...
