The Hot and Energetic Universe: The close environments of supermassive black holes
Michal Dovciak, Giorgio Matt, Stefano Bianchi +22
Most of the action in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) occurs within a few tens of gravitational radii from the supermassive black hole, where matter in the accretion disk may lose up…
The Hot and Energetic Universe: Astrophysics of feedback in local AGN
M. Cappi, C. Done, E. Behar +30
Understanding the astrophysics of feedback in active galactic nuclei (AGN) is key to understanding the growth and co-evolution of supermassive black holes and galaxies. AGN-driven…
The Hot and Energetic Universe: A White Paper presenting the science theme motivating the Athena+ mission
Kirpal Nandra, Didier Barret, Xavier Barcons +237
This White Paper, submitted to the recent ESA call for science themes to define its future large missions, advocates the need for a transformational leap in our understanding of tw…
Two Compton-Thick Active Nuclei in Arp 220?
Alessandro Paggi, Giuseppina Fabbiano, Guido Risaliti +2
Narrow-band spectral imaging with sub-pixel resolution of the Chandra-ACIS archival observation of the ULIRG merger Arp 220 strongly suggests two Compton thick nuclei, spatially co…
A rapidly spinning supermassive black hole at the centre of NGC 1365
G. Risaliti, F. A. Harrison, K. K. Madsen +9
Broad X-ray emission lines from neutral and partially ionized iron observed in active galaxies have been interpreted as fluorescence produced by the reflection of hard X-rays off t…
