The AGN Help Page

This is the place to find information, websites and downloadable files to make your search for AGN information easier. The image used as a background on this page is of the 0.9 meter telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory. It is the telescope used to take many of the images and spectra in the RBSE lexicon of research projects. The guy to the left is Travis Rector, an astronomer who works for the National Radio Astronomical Observatories. He is currently working at the VLA (Very Large Array) Telescope in Socorro, New Mexico. If you have questions concerning AGN that you absolutely CANNOT answer, questions that totally stump me and are at your wit's end, we can contact Travis via email. He will get back to you typically within a day or two.
