A. Deconto-Machado, G. Vietri, E. Piconcelli +22
Ultra-fast broad absorption line outflows (uBAL, ~0.1-0.2c) represent some of the most extreme manifestations of quasar-driven winds. We aim to investigate the variability of uBALs…
A Dusty Quenching-candidate AGN host at z=5.7: massive quiescent galaxies may quench already during the dust-obscured phase

AGN X-ray coronae at high luminosity: A broadband study of RBS 229 and PG 1407+265
Alessandro Leonardo Lai, Stefano Bianchi, Andrea Marinucci +8
Context. The X-ray emission of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is commonly interpreted as arising from Comptonisation in a hot corona above the accretion disc. A prominent soft X-ray…
An (in)complete NIRSpec census of Balmer absorption in Type 1 AGN -- radiation-driven outflows in little red dots, quasars and variable stars
Ignas Juodžbalis, Xihan Ji, Francesco D'Eugenio +17
A notable achievement of the first generation of JWST surveys was the discovery of an abundance of faint high-redshift () broad-line active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the $L_{…
BlackTHUNDER Reveals a Massive Filament around a Compact AGN at
Giulia Tozzi, Hannah Übler, Eleonora Parlanti +27
Despite the growing number of compact active galactic nuclei (AGN) at discovered by JWST, their formation and evolution remain poorly understood. This paper investigates the…
