We present the results of a detailed study of the central part of the Seyfert galaxy Mkn 938. Observational data were obtained with the 6-m telescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences using integral-field spectrograph MPFS and a scanning Fabry--Perot interferometer. Mkn 938 is interesting for being a result of a merger of two gas-rich galaxies, and we observe the final stage of this interaction accompanied with an extremely powerful burst of star formation and nuclear activity. Our analysis of the kinematics of gas and stars revealed the presence of gas outflow in the circumnuclear region Mkn 938 with velocities ranging from -370 to -480 km/s, and allowed us for the first time to map the high-velocity galactic wind in NaD absorption line on large spatial scale in this galaxy.

We present a study of the kinematic properties of the ionized gas in the dominant giant HII region of the well known HII galaxy: II Zw 40. High spatial and spectral resolution spectroscopy has been obtained using IFU mode on the GMOS instrument at Ge
mini-North telescope. We have used a set of kinematics diagnostic diagrams, such as the intensity vs. velocity dispersion intensity vs. radial velocity, for global and individual analysis in sub-regions of the nebula. We aim to separate the main line broadening mechanisms responsible for producing a smooth supersonic integrated line profile for the giant HII region. The brightest central region (R ~ 50 pc) is responsible for sigma derived from a single fit to the integrated line profile. The dominant action of gravity, and possibly unresolved winds of young (<10 Myr) massive stars, in this small region should be responsible for the characteristic Halpha velocity profile of the starburst region as a whole. Our observations show that the complex structure of the interstellar medium of this galactic scale star-forming region is very similar to that of nearby extragalactic giant HII regions in the Local Group galaxies.
We present results from multi-frequency polarization-sensitive Very Large Array observations of the Seyfert-starburst composite galaxy NGC3079. Our sensitive radio observations reveal a plethora of radio filaments comprising the radio lobes in this g
alaxy. We analyze the origin of these radio filaments in the context of existing Chandra X-ray and HST emission-line data. We do not find a one-to-one correlation of the radio filaments with the emission line filaments. The north-eastern lobe is highly polarized with polarization fractions $sim$33% at 5 GHz. The magnetic fields are aligned with the linear extents of the optically-thin filaments, as observed in our, as well as other observations in the literature. Our rotation measure images show evidence for rotation measure inversion in the north-eastern lobe. Our data best fit a model where the cosmic rays follow the magnetic field lines generated as a result of the dynamo mechanism. There could be additional effects like shock acceleration that might also be playing a role. We speculate that the peculiar radio lobe morphology is a result of an interplay between both the superwinds and the AGN jet that are present in the galaxy. The jet, in fact, might be playing a major role in providing the relativistic electron population that is present in the radio lobes.
Several narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s) have now been detected in gamma rays, providing firm evidence that at least some of this class of active galactic nuclei (AGN) produce relativistic jets. The presence of jets in NLS1s is surprising, as t
hese sources are typified by comparatively small black hole masses and near- or super-Eddington accretion rates. This challenges the current understanding of the conditions necessary for jet production. Comparing the properties of the jets in NLS1s with those in more familiar jetted systems is thus essential to improve jet production models. We present early results from our campaign to monitor the kinematics and polarization of the parsec-scale jets in a sample of 15 NLS1s through multifrequency observations with the Very Long Baseline Array. These observations are complemented by fast-cadence 15 GHz monitoring with the Owens Valley Radio Observatory 40m telescope and optical spectroscopic monitoring with with the 2m class telescope at the Guillermo Haro Astrophysics Observatory in Cananea, Mexico.
Using the recent GAIA eDR3 catalogue we construct a sample of solar neighbourhood isolated wide binaries satisfying a series of strict signal-to-noise data cuts, exclusion of random association criteria and detailed colour-magnitude diagram selection
s, to minimise the presence of any kinematic contaminating effects having been discussed in the literature to date. Our final high-purity sample consists of 421 binary pairs within 130 pc of the sun and in all cases high-quality GAIA single-stellar fits for both components of each binary (final average RUWE values of 0.99), both also restricted to the cleanest region of the main sequence. We find kinematics fully consistent with Newtonian expectations for separations, $s$, below 0.009 pc, with relative velocities scaling with $Delta V propto s^{-1/2}$ and a total binary mass, $M_{b}$, velocity scaling of $Delta V propto M_{b}^{1/2}$. For the separation region of $s> 0.009$ pc we obtain significantly different results, with a separation independent $Delta V approx 0.5$ km/s and a $Delta V propto M_{b}^{0.22 pm 0.18}$. This situation is highly reminiscent of the low acceleration galactic baryonic Tully-Fisher phenomenology, and indeed, the change from the two regimes we find closely corresponds to the $a lesssim a_{0}$ transition.

The detection of gamma-ray emission from narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLSy1) has challenged the idea that large black hole (BH) masses ($ge$10$^8$ M$_{odot}$) are needed to launch relativistic jets. We present near-infrared imaging data of the gam
ma-ray-emitting NLSy1 PKS 1502+036 obtained with the Very Large Telescope. Its surface brightness profile, extending to $sim$ 20 kpc, is well described by the combination of a nuclear component and a bulge with a Sersic index $n$ = 3.5, which is indicative of an elliptical galaxy. A circumnuclear structure observed near PKS 1502+036 may be the result of galaxy interactions. A BH mass of about $sim 7 times 10^{8}$ M$_{odot}$ has been estimated by the bulge luminosity. The presence of an additional faint disc component cannot be ruled out with the present data, but this would reduce the BH mass estimate by only $sim$ 30%. These results, together with analogous findings obtained for FBQS J1644+2619, indicate that the relativistic jets in gamma-ray-emitting NLSy1 are likely produced by massive black holes at the center of elliptical galaxies.
