Multiwavelength variability study and search for periodicity of PKS 1510-089

G. Castignani, E. Pian, T. M. Belloni +14

Blazars are the most luminous and variable AGNs, and thus excellent probes of accretion and emission processes close to the central engine. We focus on PKS 1510-089 (), one…

A maximal restriction theorem and Lebesgue points of functions in F(L^p)

Detlef Müller, Fulvio Ricci, James Wright

Fourier restriction theorems, whose study had been initiated by E.M. Stein, usually describe a family of a priori estimates of the L^q-norm of the restriction of the Fourier transf…

Faint progenitors of luminous quasars: why don't we see them?

Edwige Pezzulli, Rosa Valiante, Maria C. Orofino +3

Observational searches for faint active nuclei at have been extremely elusive, with a few candidates whose high- nature is still to be confirmed. Interpreting this lack…

Optical photometry and spectroscopy of the low-luminosity, broad-lined Ic supernova iPTF15dld

E. Pian, L. Tomasella, E. Cappellaro +37

Core-collapse stripped-envelope supernova (SN) explosions reflect the diversity of physical parameters and evolutionary paths of their massive star progenitors. We have observed th…

Some properties of Grauert type surfaces

Samuele Mongodi, Zbigniew Slodkowski, Giuseppe Tomassini

In a previous work, we classified weakly complete surfaces which admit a real analytic plurisubharmonic exhaustion function; we showed that, if they are not proper over a Stein spa…

Vacua from Dilaton Tadpoles and Form Fluxes

J. Mourad, A. Sagnotti

We describe how unbounded three--form fluxes can lead to families of vacua, with constant dilaton profiles, in the model with "brane supersymmetry brea…

Triggering the formation of direct collapse black holes by their congeners

Bin Yue, Andrea Ferrara, Fabio Pacucci +1

Direct collapse black holes (DCBHs) are excellent candidates as seeds of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) observed at $z \gsim 6$. The formation of a DCBH requires a strong externa…
