Constraints on Relativistic Jets in Quiescent Black Hole X-ray Binaries from Broadband Spectral Modeling

Richard M. Plotkin, Elena Gallo, Sera Markoff +5

The nature of black hole jets at the lowest detectable luminosities remains an open question, largely due to a dearth of observational constraints. Here, we present a new, nearly-s…

The Nature of Transition Blazars

J. J. Ruan, S. F. Anderson, R. M. Plotkin +4

Blazars are classically divided into the BL Lac (BLL) and Flat-Spectrum Radio Quasar (FSRQ) subclasses, corresponding to radiatively inefficient and efficient accretion regimes, re…

The radio/X-ray domain of black hole X-ray binaries at the lowest radio luminosities

E. Gallo, J. C. A. Miller-Jones, D. M. Russell +7

[Abridged] We report on deep, coordinated radio and X-ray observations of the black hole X-ray binary XTE J1118+480 in quiescence. The source was observed with the Karl G. Jansky V…

AMUSE-Field II. Nucleation of early-type galaxies in the field vs. cluster environment

Vivienne F. Baldassare, Elena Gallo, Brendan P. Miller +4

The optical light profiles of nearby early type galaxies are known to exhibit a smooth transition from nuclear light deficits to nuclear light excesses with decreasing galaxy mass,…

A Candidate Massive Black Hole in the Low-metallicity Dwarf Galaxy Pair Mrk 709

Amy Reines, Richard Plotkin, Thomas Russell +4

The incidence and properties of present-day dwarf galaxies hosting massive black holes (BHs) can provide important constraints on the origin of high-redshift BH seeds. Here we pres…
