The galactic ridge observed by Exosat
We have used Exosat to map the distribution of X-ray emission in the galactic plane. In addition to numerous point sources, the map reveals a narrow continuous ridge of emission which extends along the galacti...

Statistical investigation of compact emitting regions in extragalactic radio sources
EXTRAGALACTIC radio sources of high total luminosity usually contain compact emitting regions. These may be coincident with the optical galaxy or quasar, or they may be situated at the outer edges of extended ...

Angular Diameters of Quasars of Unusual Colour
TWO neutral-coloured stellar objects, OH471 and OQ172, have been shown to be QSOs with redshifts of 3.40 and 3.53 respectively1,2. This has stimulated interest in other radio sources identified with stellar objec...
