ACO 3627 is a rich, nearby cluster of galaxies at the core of the Great Attractor. At the low galactic latitude of b = -7.2 the galactic extinction is significant. Nevertheless, its proximity makes it a prime target for studies of environmental effects on its cluster members. Here, we report on a multi-wavelength study of a Seyfert 1 galaxy at 30 arcminutes from the centre of ACO 3627. Its Seyfert nature was discovered spectroscopically and confirmed in X-rays. We have obtained B_J and R_C CCD photometry as well as J, H, K and L aperture photometry at the SAAO, low and high resolution spectroscopy (ESO and SAAO), 21 cm line observations (Parkes Observatory) and X-ray ROSAT PSPC data. The Seyfert 1 galaxy is of morphology SBa(r). It has a nearby companion (dS0) but shows no signs of interaction. A consistent value for the galactic extinction of A_B = 1.6 mag could be determined. The nucleus of the Seyfert is very blue with a strong (B_J - R_C) colour gradient in the inner 2.5 arcsec. The extinction-corrected near-infrared colours of WKK 6092 are typical of a Seyfert 1 and the X-ray spectrum conforms to the expectation of a Seyfert as well. The galaxy has a very low HI flux. This could be explained by its morphology, but also -- due to its very central position within the rich Norma cluster -- to ram pressure stripping.

ATCA 21 cm HI observations of the rich galaxy cluster ACO 3627 in the Great Attractor region are presented. Three fields of 30 diameter located within one Abell radius of ACO 3627 were observed with a resolution of 15 and an rms noise of sim 1 mJy/be am. Only two galaxies were detected in these fields. We compare their HI distribution to new optical R-band images and discuss their velocity fields. The first galaxy is a gas-rich unperturbed spiral whereas the second shows a peculiar HI distribution. The estimated 3-sigma HI mass limit of our observations is sim 7 x 10^8 M_{odot} for a line width of 150 km s^{-1}. The non-detection of a considerable number of luminous spiral galaxies indicates that the spiral galaxies are HI deficient. The low detection rate is comparable to the HI deficient Coma cluster (Bravo-Alfaro et al. 2000). ACO 3627 is a bright X-ray cluster. We therefore suspect that ram pressure stripping is responsible for the HI deficiency of the bright cluster spirals.

We obtained far-ultraviolet spectra of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 7469 using the FUSE on 1999 December 6. Our spectra cover the wavelength range 990-1187 A with a resolution of 0.05 A. We see broad emission lines of CIII, NIII, OVI, and HeII as well as intrinsic absorption lines in the OVI 1032,1038 resonance doublet. The absorption arises in two distinct kinematic components at systemic velocities of -569 km/s and -1898 km/s. Both components are very highly ionized- no significant Ly beta absorption is present. The higher blueshift component is not quite saturated, and it has a total OVI column density of 8e14/cm2. It covers more than 90% of the continuum and broad-line emission. The lower blue shift component is heavily saturated and covers only 50% of the continuum and broad-line emission. It too has a column density of 8e14/cm2, but this is less certain due to the high saturation. We set an upper limit of <1.5e18/cm2 on the OVI column density of this component. Its line depth is consistent with coverage of only the continuum, and thus this component may lie interior to the broad emission-line gas. The component at -569 km/s has a velocity comparable to the high-ionization X-ray absorption lines seen in the XMM-Newton grating spectrum of NGC 7469, and photoionization models show that the observed column densities of OVI and HI are compatible with their formation in the same gas as that causing the X-ray absorption. The gas at -1898 km/s has lower ionization and column density, and no significant X-ray absorption is associated with it.

The {gamma}-ray detection from several radio-loud (RL) narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) galaxies has enabled us to study powerful relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with smaller black hole masses and higher accretion rates than classical blazars. However, the sample of those {gamma}-ray detected NLS1s available is still not large enough for a comprehensive and statistical study. We provide a summary of our detections and follow-up studies of three {gamma}-ray-emitting NLS1s: SDSS J211852.96-073227.5 with flaring {gamma}-ray radiation (Yang et al. 2018, Paliya et al. 2018) and SDSS J122222.55+041315.7 with the highest redshift by far (z~1) (Yao et al. 2015a), along with the prototype 1H 0323+342 (Zhou et al. 2007, Yao et al. 2015b). And we will discuss their multiwavelength properties and variability properties, including implications from high-energy observations in {gamma}-rays and X-rays, infrared and radio properties, and correlated variability between several wavebands.

We present an XMM-Newton observation of NGC 7469, including studies of the X-ray and UV variability, 0.2-10 keV spectral continuum, Fe K-alpha emission line and the first-ever high-resolution X-ray spectrum of the soft X-ray warm absorber. We compare the properties of this X-ray warm absorber with the UV warm absorber as seen in a FUSE observation one year previously. The 0.2-10 keV spectral continuum is best fitted by a power-law plus two blackbody model. An Fe K-alpha emission line is visible which consists of a single narrow component and is well-modelled by a simple gaussian. Narrow absorption and emission lines in the soft X-ray RGS spectrum demonstrate the existence of a multi-phase warm absorber with a range in log xi of ~ 2 to ~ -2 where xi is in erg cm s^-1. The warm absorber is blueshifted by several hundred km s^-1. The highest-ionisation phase of the absorber is the best constrained and has an overall equivalent Hydrogen column of order 10^20 cm^-2; we find that its ionisation parameter is consistent with that of the warm emitter which generates the narrow emission lines. We identify this high ionisation absorber with the low-velocity phase of the UV absorber observed by FUSE.
We present moderate (${sim}5^{primeprime}$) and high angular resolution (${sim}1^{primeprime}$) observations of $^{12}rm{CO,}(J=2-1)$ emission toward nearby, interacting galaxy NGC 3627 taken with the Submillimeter Array (SMA). These SMA mosaic maps of NGC 3627 reveal a prominent nuclear peak, inter-arm regions, and diffuse, extended emission in the spiral arms. A velocity gradient of ${sim}400$-$450$ km s$^{-1}$ is seen across the entire galaxy with velocity dispersions ranging from $lesssim 80$ km s$^{-1}$ toward the nuclear region to $lesssim 15$ km s$^{-1}$ in the spiral arms. We also detect unresolved $^{13}rm{CO,}(J=2-1)$ line emission toward the nuclear region, southern bar end, and in a relatively isolated clump in the southern portion of the galaxy, while no $rm{C}^{18}O(J=2-1)$ line emission is detected at a $3sigma$ rms noise level of 42 mJy beam$^{-1}$ per 20 km s$^{-1}$ channel. Using RADEX modeling with a large velocity gradient approximation, we derive kinetic temperatures ranging from ${sim}5$-$10$ K (in the spiral arms) to ${sim}25$ K (at the center) and H$_2$ number densities from ${sim}$400-1000 cm$^{-3}$ (in the spiral arms) to ${sim}$12500 cm$^{-3}$ (at the center). From this density modeling, we find a total H$_2$ mass of $9.6times10^9 M_{odot}$, which is ${sim}50%$ higher than previous estimates made using a constant H$_2$-CO conversion factor but is largely dependent on the assumed vertical distribution of the CO gas. With the exception of the nuclear region, we also identify a tentative correlation between star formation efficiency and kinetic temperature. We derive a galactic rotation curve, finding a peak velocity of ${sim}207$ km s$^{-1}$ and estimate a total dynamical mass of $4.94 pm 0.70 times 10^{10} M_{odot}$ at a galactocentric radius of ${sim}6.2$ kpc ($121^{primeprime}$).
