Variability of the X-ray obscuring wind in Mrk 335 with XMM-Newton/RGS
Daniele Rogantini, Erin Kara, Luigi Gallo +10
The paper analyzes X‑ray spectra of the Seyfert galaxy Mrk 335 to characterize a multi‑phase, clumpy accretion‑disk wind that shows strong variability on day‑scale timescales and a…
Spatially resolved optical and mid-infrared spectroscopy of SDSS1335+0728: implications for the origin of the Ansky event
P. Sánchez-Sáez, M. Masterson, L. Hernández-GarcÃa +25
The galaxy SDSS1335+0728 brightened abruptly in December 2019 (the Ansky event) and has since been confirmed as the host of extreme X-ray quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) of debated…
Persistence of the Millihertz X-ray Quasi-Periodic Oscillation in the Active Galactic Nucleus 1ES 1927+654
Megan Masterson, Erin Kara, William N. Alston +15
1ES 1927+654 is an extreme active galactic nucleus (AGN) that has defied our canonical expectations for how AGN appear across the electromagnetic spectrum and how they vary on shor…
Evidence for a Delayed UV Counterpart to X-ray Quasi-periodic Eruptions in Ansky
Hengxiao Guo, Zhen Yan, Ya-Ping Li +15
X-ray quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) represent a novel population of extreme, repeating nuclear transients whose physical origins remain debated. A defining characteristic of QPEs…
AT2024lhc and AT2024kmq in the landscape of featureless tidal disruption events
Yuhan Yao, Ryan Chornock, Andrew Mummery +39
We study AT2024kmq and AT2024lhc, two tidal disruption events (TDEs) with blue featureless spectra associated with high-mass black holes (). Both even…
NICER observations reveal doubled timescales in Ansky's quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs)
L. Hernández-GarcÃa, P. Sánchez-Sáez, J. Chakraborty +11
Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are recurring X-ray bursts originating from the vicinity of supermassive black holes, but their driving mechanisms remain under debate. This study a…
