We use the results of the SCUBA Local Universe Galaxy Survey, a submillimetre survey of galaxies in the nearby Universe, to investigate the relationship between the far-infrared--submillimetre and radio emission of galaxies at both low and high redshift. At low redshift we show that the correlation between radio and far-infrared emission is much stronger than the correlation between radio and submillimetre emission, which is evidence that massive stars are the source of both the far-infrared and radio emission. At high redshift we show that the submillimetre sources detected by SCUBA are brighter sources of radio emission than are predicted from the properties of galaxies in the local Universe. We discuss possible reasons for the cosmic evolution of the relationship between radio and far-infrared emission.

Recently, it has been suggested that the CO line width (FWHM(CO)) is a surrogate for the bulge velocity dispersion ($sigma$) of the host galaxies of high-redshift quasars, and the black hole -- bulge ($M_{BH}-sigma$) relation obtained with this assum
ption departs significantly from the $M_{BH}-sigma$ relation in the local universe. In this study, we first present an investigation of the correlation between the CO line width and the bulge velocity dispersion using a sample of 33 nearby Seyfert galaxies. We find that the formula adopted in previous studies, $sigma=rm{FWHM(CO)}/2.35$, is generally not a good approximation. Using it, one may underestimate the value of bulge velocity dispersion significantly when the CO line is narrower than 400 $km s^{-1}$. By involving the galactic inclination angle $i$ as an additional parameter, we obtain a tight correlation between the inclination-corrected CO line width and the bulge velocity dispersion, namely, $rm {FWHM(CO)}/sin i=-67.16pm80.18+(3.62pm0.68)sigma$. Using this new relation, we can better estimate the bulge velocity dispersion from the CO line width if the galactic inclination is known. We apply this new relation to nine high-redshift quasars with CO line detections and find that they are consistent with the local $M_{BH}-sigma$ relation if their inclination angles are around $15^o$. The possible smaller inclinations of the high-redshift quasars are preferred because of their relatively greater likelihood of detection, and are also consistent with their relatively smaller CO line widths compared to submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) at high redshift having a similar total amount of molecular gas. Future observations are needed to confirm these results.
Due to their highly luminous nature, gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are useful tools in studying the early Universe (up to z = 10). We consider whether the available subset of Swift high redshift GRBs are unusual when compared to analogous simulations of a
bright low redshift sample. By simulating data from the Burst Alert Telescope (BAT; Barthelmy et al. 2005) the light curves of these bright bursts are obtained over an extensive range of redshifts, revealing complicated evolution in properties of the prompt emission such as T90.
Pair creation supernovae (PCSN) are thought to be produced from very massive low metallicity stars. The spectacularly bright SN 2006gy does show signatures expected from PCSNe. Here, we investigate the metallicity threshold below which PCSN can form
and estimate their occurrence rate. We perform stellar evolution calculations for stars of 150$mso$ and 250$mso$ of low metallicity (Z$_{odot}$/5 and Z$_{odot}$/20), and analyze their mass loss rates. We find that the bifurcation between quasi-chemically homogeneous evolution for fast rotation and conventional evolution for slower rotation, which has been found earlier for massive low metallicity stars, persists in the mass range considered here. Consequently, there are two separate PCSN progenitor types: (I) Fast rotators produce PCSNe from very massive Wolf-Rayet stars, and (II) Slower rotators that generate PCSNe in hydrogen-rich massive yellow hypergiants. We find that hydrogen-rich PCSNe could occur at metallicities as high as Z$_{odot}$/3, which -- assuming standard IMFs are still valid to estimate their birth rates -- results in a rate of about one PCSN per 1000 supernovae in the local universe, and one PCSN per 100 supernovae at a redshift of $z=5$. PCSNe from WC-type Wolf-Rayet stars are restricted to much lower metallicity.
Perhaps as many as 10% of high redshift radio galaxy (HzRG; z > 2) candidates that are selected using an Ultra Steep radio Spectrum (USS) criterion fail to show optical emission (continuum, lines) in deep Keck exposures. Their parent objects are only
detected in the near-IR and are probably heavily obscured and/or at very high redshift. To search for signatures of dust and help constrain the nature and redshifts of these ``no-z radio galaxies, we have conducted a program of submillimeter and millimeter observations. Here we report the first results of a detailed study of one of these objects, WN J0305+3525. WN J0305+3525 appears associated with a small group of K ~ 21 - 22 objects and is strongly detected at both 850 micron and 1.25 mm. On the basis of its faint K-band magnitude, spectral energy distribution (SED) and other evidence we estimate that the radio galaxy is probably at a redshift z = 3 +/- 1. This would make WN J0305+3525 a radio-loud Hyper Luminous Infrared Galaxy (LFIR ~ 10^13 Lsun) similar to, but more obscured than, other dusty radio galaxies in this redshift range. This, together with the absence of Lya emission and compact (theta < 1.9) radio structure, suggests that WN J0305+3525 is embedded in a very dense, dusty medium and is probably at an early stage of its formation.
The existence of BAL outflows in only radio-quiet QSOs was thought to be an important clue to mass ejection and the radio-loud - radio-quiet dichotomy. Recently a few radio-loud BAL QSOs have been discovered at high redshift. We present evidence that
PKS 1004+13 is a radio-loud BAL QSO. It would be the first known at low-redshift (z = 0.24), and one of the most radio luminous. For PKS 1004+13, there appear to be broad absorption troughs of O VI, N V, Si IV, and C IV, indicating high-ionization outflows up to about 10,000 km/s. There are also two strong, broad (~500 km/s), high-ionization, associated absorption systems that show partial covering of the continuum source. The strong UV absorption we have detected suggests that the extreme soft-X-ray weakness of PKS 1004+13 is primarily the result of absorption. The large radio-lobe dominance indicates BAL and associated gas at high inclinations to the central engine axis, perhaps in a line-of-sight that passes through an accretion disk wind.
