The central theme of the research program is to study how the nuclear activity present in luminous quasi-stellar objects (QSO)and powerful radio galaxies is related to their environments and what physical mechanisms are the cause of these phenomena. The studies will include an intensive study of the inner structure of QSO host galaxies at low redshifts, an imaging and spectroscopic investigation of a complete sample of radio galaxies, and a program to determine morphological properties of rich clusters associated with QSOs by identifying specific galaxies at QSO redshift to faint limiting magnitude. The Principal Investigator is regarded as a world leader in this research area.

研究计划的核心主题是研究发光准恒星物体（QSO）中存在的核活动和强大的射电星系如何与它们的环境以及这些现象的原因有关。 这些研究将包括对低红移QSO宿主星系的内部结构的深入研究，对完整宽宽星系样本样本的成像和光谱研究，以及通过识别与QSOS相关的富群体形态学特性来确定与特定特定星系相关的图形特性的程序。 QSO红移至微弱的限制幅度。 首席研究人员被认为是该研究领域的世界领导者。
