Evidence for a Stratified Accretion Disk Wind in AGN
P. Marziani, E. Bon, S. Panda +5
We present observational evidence supporting the presence of a stratified accretion disk wind in active galactic nuclei (AGN), based on multi-wavelength spectroscopic analysis of b…
The Disk Plus (Failed) Wind System of 3C 47: A Story of Accretion Disks and Binary Black Holes
P. Marziani, S. Terefe Mengistue, A. del Olmo +9
[Abridged] Optically thick, geometrically thin accretion disks around supermassive black holes are thought to contribute to broad-line emission in type-1 active galactic nuclei (AG…
Feeding frenzy in the mighty black holes: what we could learn from them?
Swayamtrupta Panda, Hygor Benati Gonçalves, Thaisa Storchi-Bergmann +14
Eddington ratio is a paramount parameter governing the accretion history and life cycles of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs). This short review presents a multi-faceted view of the im…
Where to search for supermassive binary black holes
Paola Marziani, Edi Bon, Natasa Bon +1
Supermassive binary black holes (SMBBHs) are the anticipated byproducts of galaxy mergers and play a pivotal role in shaping galaxy evolution, gravitational wave emissions, and acc…
Changing-look NLS1 galaxies, their detection with SVOM, and the case of NGC 1566
D. W. Xu, S. Komossa, D. Grupe +15
We discuss applications of the study of the new and barely explored class of changing-look (CL) narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) galaxies and comment on their detection with the space…
A possible mechanism for multiple changing look phenomenon in Active Galactic Nuclei
M. Sniegowska, B. Czerny, E. Bon +1
Changing-look phenomenon observed now in a growing number of active galaxies challenges our understanding of the accretion process close to a black hole. We propose a simple explan…
