Description
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 (BELs), and moderately powerful FR II extended radio
emission. It is one of the few documented examples of a broad-line
object in which the time-averaged jet kinetic luminosity, Q, is larger
than the total thermal luminosity (IR to X-ray) of the accretion flow,
Lbol. The blazar nucleus dominates the optical and
near-ultraviolet emission and is a strong source of hard X-rays. The
strong blazar emission indicates that the relativistic radio jet is
presently active. The implication is that even weakly accreting AGNs can
create powerful jets. Kinetically dominated (Q>Lbol)
broad-line objects provide important constraints on the relationship
between the accretion flow and the jet production mechanism.

Traces of Galaxy Formation: Stellar populations, Dynamics and Morphology
We are a large, diverse, and very active research group aiming to provide a comprehensive picture for the formation of galaxies in the Universe. Rooted in detailed stellar population analysis, we are constantly exploring and developing new tools and ideas to understand how galaxies came to be what we now observe.
