    The extent of the Mg II absorbing circumgalactic medium of quasars
    We investigate the extent and the properties of the Mg II cool, low-density absorbing gas located in the halo and in the circumgalactic environment of quasars...

    The FR II Broad-Line Seyfert 1 Galaxy: PKS J1037-2705
    In this article we demonstrate that PKS J1037-2705 has a weak accretion flow luminosity, well below the Seyfert 1/QSO dividing line, weak broad emission lines...
