Description
We have performed photometric optical observations of a sample of 16 radio loud and 16 radio quiet quasars. The aims were to confirm the existence of microvariations in strictly radio quiet objects, and to compare the properties of the variations in both types of quasars. The samples were defined in such a way, that the only observational difference between the two groups is the radio power. We present a new observational and statistical procedure for searching for microvariability, based on the Annalysis of Variance. We have found that microvariations in radio quiet objects may be as frequent as in radio loud sources.

    RAD@home Citizen Scientists Uncover Emerging Jet-Galaxy Interactions
    The RAD12 object's recent investigation (Hota et al. 2022), via the RAD@home Astronomy Collaboratory, has provided a streamlined and focused perspective on the complex subject of jet-galaxy interactions, which has always posed a significant challenge for observational confirmation. This emerging field holds increasing significance, providing a

    A Disc Wind Where You Least Expect It: The Outflow in the Short-period X-ray Binary UW CrB
    Studying outflows of low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) is important for understanding the physics of accretion, the evolution of compact binaries, and dynamics of the local interstellar medium. One significant source of these outflows is the accretion disc wind, which can blow away vast amounts of material from the disc before it can be accreted on
