My research in Observational Cosmology concentrates on Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs), commonly known as quasars, bright stellar objects of enormous luminosity, the powerhouse centres of large galaxies. It is vital to understand these objects as they must be involved in galaxy formation and evolution - their properties are tightly correlated with those of the host galaxies. Whatever their mysterious physics, they are luminous beacons able to trace mass throughout the observable universe. My proposal concerns two aspects of my AGN research:

我在观测宇宙学的研究集中在活动星系核（AGN），通常被称为类星体，巨大的光度明亮的恒星物体，大型星系的发电站中心。了解这些天体是至关重要的，因为它们必须参与星系的形成和演化-它们的性质与宿主星系的性质密切相关。无论它们的物理学有多么神秘，它们都是能够在整个可观测宇宙中追踪质量的发光灯塔。我的建议涉及活动星系核研究的两个方面：
