1. 1. Identifying Gravitationally Lensed QSO Candidates with eROSITA

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Observationell astrofysik

   Author : Róisín O'Rourke Brogan; [2020]
   Keywords : active galactic nuclei; agn; erosita; gaia; gravitational lensing; quasi-stellar objects; strong lensing; multiple images;

   Abstract : As of June 2020, the first all-sky X-ray survey with the eROSITA instrument aboard the spacecraft Spektr-RG has been completed. A high percentage of the 1.1 million objects included in the survey are expected to be active galactic nuclei (AGN). READ MORE

3. 2. AGN Candidates for High Energy Neutrino Emission in IceCube

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

   Author : Roisín O'Rourke Brogan; [2020]
   Keywords : active galactic nuclei; agn; high energy physics; neutrinos; IceCube; blazars; jets; gamma emission;

   Abstract : Since the construction of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory was completed in 2010, many amazing discoveries have been made in the field of neutrino physics. Recently a neutrino event has been linked to an blazar-type active galactic nucleus source, bringing us one step closer to understanding the production of high-energy extragalactic neutrinos and ushering in a new era of multimessenger astronomy.
