The rise and decline of a transient obscuration event in a moderately distant type-I quasar

A. Akylas, A. Georgakakis, E. Pouliasis +5

Outflows of ionised material, often dubbed warm absorbers (WAs), are common in nearby Seyferts but sparse in distant and more energetic quasars (QSOs). We present multi-epoch X-ray…

Halo mass, star formation, and morphology in galaxies: A morphology-dependent connection between halo environment and star formation activity

G. Mountrichas, F. Shankar, F. J. Carrera +1

Understanding the mechanisms responsible for quenching star formation in galaxies requires disentangling the roles of internal structure and large-scale environment. We investigate…

The incidence of eROSITA X-ray AGN in the local Universe: from dwarf to massive galaxies

Z. Igo, A. Merloni, A. Georgakakis +22

Combining deep, wide-area X-ray surveys with multi-wavelength catalogues provides insights into rare, highly-accreting AGN and low-mass galaxies at low redshift, the latter potenti…

The eROSITA X-ray luminosity function of active galactic nuclei

W. Roster, J. Buchner, M. Salvato +23

The X-ray luminosity function (XLF) of active galactic nuclei (AGN) provides an observational probe of the growth of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) across cosmic time. With its l…

The SRG/eROSITA All-Sky Survey DR2: Cumulative X-ray catalogues from the first three surveys and multi-wavelength counterparts in the western Galactic hemisphere

M. E. Ramos-Ceja, G. Lamer, M. Salvato +111

The eROSITA telescope array on board the Spektrum-Roentgen-Gamma (SRG) mission began its all-sky survey program in December 2019, scanning the sky at an approximately six-month cad…

Black hole mass, host galaxy mass, and dark matter halos: Testing the environmental connection

G. Mountrichas, F. Shankar, F. J. Carrera +1

We investigate the connection between supermassive black holes (SMBHs), their host galaxies, and large-scale dark-matter halos using broad-line X-ray AGN from the XMM--XXL and Stri…
