A Newborn AGN in a Starforming Galaxy

P. Arévalo, E. López-Navas, M. L. Martínez-Aldama +8

We report on the finding of a newborn AGN, i.e. current AGN activity in a galaxy previously classified as non-active, and characterize its evolution. Black hole ignition event cand…

Improving the selection of changing-look AGNs through multi-wavelength photometric variability

E. López-Navas, P. Sánchez-Sáez, P. Arévalo +13

We present second epoch optical spectra for 30 changing-look (CL) candidates found by searching for Type-1 optical variability in a sample of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) spectros…

Optical variability in Quasars: Scaling with black hole mass and Eddington ratio depend on the observed timescales

Patricia Arévalo, Paulina Lira, Paula Sánchez-Sáez +4

Quasars emission is highly variable, and this variability gives us clues to understand the accretion process onto supermassive black holes. We can expect variability properties to…

A closer look at NGC 7314 nuclear region: a multiwavelength analysis of the Seyfert nucleus and its surroundings

Patrícia da Silva, R. B. Menezes, Y. Díaz +4

The central regions of galaxies harbouring active galactic nuclei (AGNs) can be quite complex, especially at high activity, presenting, besides variability, a variety of phenomena…

The Type 1 and Type 2 AGN dichotomy according to their ZTF optical variability

E. López-Navas, P. Arévalo, S. Bernal +4

The scarce optical variability studies in spectrally classified Type 2 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) have led to the discovery of anomalous objects that are incompatible with the s…

Constraining the X-ray reflection in low accretion rate AGN using XMM-Newton, NuSTAR and Swift

Y. Díaz, L. Hernández-García, P. Arévalo +8

An interesting feature in active galactic nuclei (AGN) accreting at low rate is the weakness of the reflection features in their X-ray spectra, which can result from the gradual di…

Confirming new changing--look AGNs discovered through optical variability using a random-forest based light curve classifier

E. López-Navas, M. L. Martínez-Aldama, S. Bernal +6

Determining the frequency and duration of changing--look (CL) active galactic nuclei (AGNs) phenomena, where the optical broad emission lines appear or disappear, is crucial to und…

Co-evolution of black hole accretion and star formation in galaxies up to z=3.5

R. Carraro, G. Rodighiero, P. Cassata +15

We study the co-evolution between the black hole accretion rate (BHAR) and the star formation rate (SFR) in different galaxy life phases: main sequence star-forming galaxies, quies…
