Description
Two sources selected from the IRAS Point Source Catalogue (PSC) have been spectroscopically identified as galaxies with a Seyfert type active nucleus. The brightest of the first source, IRAS 20210 + 1121, is in close interaction with a companion galaxy at a projected distance of 1.1 kpc and has a perturbed spiral-like morphology. This galaxy presents some features which make it a candidate for an obscured Seyfert type 1. The second source, IRAS 01475 - 0740, has an elliptical morphology and might be located at the center of a group of galaxies.

    Calibrating the Clock of JWST
    JWST, despite not being designed to observe astrophysical phenomena that vary on rapid timescales, can be an unparalleled tool for such studies. If timing systematics can be controlled, JWST will be able to open up the subsecond infrared timescale regime. Rapid time-domain studies, such as lag measurements in accreting compact objects and solar

    Comparing metallicity correlations in nearby non-AGN and AGN-host galaxies
    The gas-phase metallicity distribution within galaxies records critical information about galactic evolution. In this work, we investigate how active galactic nuclei (AGNs) influence this distribution by measuring the two-point correlation functions of gas-phase metallicity in 95 non-AGN and 37 AGN-host galaxies from the Calar Alto Legacy Integral

    Why do some ultra diffuse Galaxies have rich globular cluster systems?
    Some ultra diffuse galaxies (UDGs) reveal many more globular clusters (GCs) than classical dwarf galaxies of the same stellar mass. These UDGs, with a mass in their GC system ( $M_{\rm GC}$) approaching 10 per cent of their host galaxy stellar mass ( $M_{\ast }$), are also inferred to have high halo mass to stellar mass ratios ( $M_{\rm halo}/M_{
