The Surprising Absence of Absorption in the Far-Ultraviolet Spectrum of Mrk 231

S. Veilleux, M. Trippe, F. Hamann +11

Mrk 231, the nearest (z = 0.0422) quasar, hosts both a galactic-scale wind and a nuclear-scale iron low-ionization broad absorption line (FeLoBAL) outflow. We recently obtained a f…

Alignment of Magnetized Accretion Disks and Relativistic Jets with Spinning Black Holes

Jonathan C. McKinney, Alexander Tchekhovskoy, Roger D. Blandford

Accreting black holes (BHs) produce intense radiation and powerful relativistic jets, which are affected by the BH's spin magnitude and direction. While thin disks might align with…

Sowing the seeds of massive black holes in small galaxies: Young clusters as the building blocks of Ultra-Compact-Dwarf Galaxies

Pau Amaro-Seoane, Symeon Konstantinidis, Marc Dewi Freitag +2

Interacting galaxies often have complexes of hundreds of young stellar clusters of individual masses in regions that are a few hundred parsecs across. These…
