Square Kilometre Array Science Data Challenge 3a: foreground removal for an EoR experiment

A. Bonaldi, P. Hartley, R. Braun +179

We present and analyse the results of the Science data challenge 3a (SDC3a, https://sdc3.skao.int/challenges/foregrounds), an EoR foreground-removal community-wide exercise organis…

20 years of disk winds in 4U 1630-47 -- I. Long-term behavior and influence of hard X-rays

M. Parra, S. Bianchi, P. -O. Petrucci +7

Highly ionized X-ray wind signatures have been found in the soft states of high-inclination Black Hole Low Mass X-ray Binaries (BHLMXBs) for more than two decades. Yet signs of a s…

A second view on the X-ray polarization of NGC 4151 with IXPE

V. E. Gianolli, S. Bianchi, E. Kammoun +21

We report on the second observing program of the active galactic nucleus NGC 4151 with simultaneous Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE; {\sim}750 ks), NuSTAR ({\sim}60 ks), X…

Supermassive Black Hole Winds in X-rays -- SUBWAYS. III. A population study on ultra-fast outflows

V. E. Gianolli, S. Bianchi, P-O Petrucci +44

The detection of blue-shifted absorption lines likely associated with ionized Iron K-shell transitions in the X-ray spectra of many Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) suggests the presen…

SKA Science Data Challenge 2: analysis and results

P. Hartley, A. Bonaldi, R. Braun +105

The Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO) will explore the radio sky to new depths in order to conduct transformational science. SKAO data products made available to astronomer…

The current state of disk wind observations in BHLMXBs through X-ray absorption lines in the iron band

M. Parra, P. -O. Petrucci, S. Bianchi +3

The presence of blueshifted absorption lines in the X-ray spectra of Black Hole Low Mass X-ray Binaries is the telltale of massive outflows called winds. These signatures are found…

A high-resolution X-ray view of the ultra-fast outflow in MAXI J1810-222

C. Pinto, M. Del Santo, A. D'Aì +10

In previous work, it was reported that the Galactic black hole candidate MAXI J1810-222 exhibited a notable absorption spectral feature at around 1 keV in low-resolution X-ray spec…

The luminosity history of fading local quasars over 10 years as observed by VLT/MUSE

C. Finlez, E. Treister, F. Bauer +10

We present a comprehensive study of five nearby active galaxies featuring large (tens of kpc) extended emission-line regions (EELRs). The study is based on large-format integral fi…

IXPE observation confirms a high spin in the accreting black hole 4U 1957+115

L. Marra, M. Brigitte, N. Rodriguez Cavero +113

We present the results of the first X-ray polarimetric observation of the low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1957+115, performed with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer in May 2023. The…
