AGN winds and outflows: from accretion-disc scales to the host galaxy

Delphine Porquet

Ultra-fast outflows (UFOs), launched from the inner accretion disc in active galactic nuclei (AGN), are among the prime candidates for driving AGN feedback in their host galaxies.…

Spectropolarimetry of the changing-look active galactic nucleus NGC 1566 and its potential link to supermassive black hole binaries

F. Marin, V. H. Sasse, J. Biedermann +4

The AGN NGC~1566 is known to present dramatic and regular spectral shape changes, associated with the appearance and disappearance of broad emission lines. The underlying mechanism…

A possible two-fold scenario for the disc-corona of the luminous AGN 1H 0419--577: a high-density disc or a warm corona

Delphine Porquet, James N. Reeves, Valentina Braito

[abridged] 1H 0419-577 is a highly-accreting, luminous BLS1 AGN. This study aims to characterise its disc-corona system using, for the first time, simultaneous XMM-Newton and NuSTA…
