Radiation-pressure instability is an artifact of constant- closure. Implications for AGN disk tensions

M. H. Naddaf, M. Ghasemnezhad, H. Ghanbarnejad +2

Radiative filtering unifies broad-line phenomenology in active galactic nuclei

Mohammad Hassan Naddaf

Broad emission lines (BELs) are a defining feature of active galactic nuclei (AGNs), yet they weaken or disappear in both very low- and very high-accretion systems. These regimes a…

HALO II: Constraining Hubble constant through continuum delay fitting of Fairall 9

Amit Kumar Mandal, Francisco Pozo Nuñez, Vikram Kumar Jaiswal +28

The Hubble tension remains one of the most significant unresolved problems in modern cosmology. A key question is whether it may arise from underestimated systematic uncertainties…

Covering factor of the dust-driven broad-line region clouds

Mohammad Hassan Naddaf, Bozena Czerny

The origin of the broad-line region (BLR) clouds in active galactic nuclei is still under discussion. We develop a scenario in which the clouds in the outer, less ionized part of t…

BAL effect in quasars due to source orientation

M. Sniegowska, M. H. Naddaf, M. L. Martinez-Aldama +3

We investigated a scenario where the presence of a broad absorption line (BAL) feature in quasars (QSOs) is contingent upon the line of sight being situated within an outflow cone…

Dust-driven wind as a model of Broad Absorption Line quasars

Mohammad Hassan Naddaf, Mary Loli Martinez-Aldama, Paola Marziani +3

We test a scenario claiming that the broad absorption line (BAL) phenomenon in quasars (QSOs) is not a temporary stage of their life. In this scenario, we see the BAL effect only i…

Dusty plasma in active galactic nuclei

Bożena Czerny, Michal Zajaček, Mohammad-Hassan Naddaf +10

Since many years we know that dust in the form of the dusty-molecular torus is responsible for the obscuration in active galactic nuclei (AGN) at large viewing angles and thus for…

The Wind Dynamics of Super-Eddington Sources in FRADO

Mohammad-Hassan Naddaf, Bożena Czerny, Michal Zajaček

We perform non-hydrodynamical 2.5D simulations to study the dynamics of material above accretion disk based on the disk radiation pressure acting on dust. We assume a super-accreti…

Accretion disks, quasars and cosmology: meandering towards understanding

Bozena Czerny, Shulei Cao, Vikram Kumar Jaiswal +11

As Setti & Woltjer noted back in 1973, quasars could be used to construct the Hubble diagram but the actual application was not that straightforward. It took years to implement the…
