Spectral Appearance of Self-gravitating Disks Powered by Stellar Objects: Universal Effective Temperature in the Optical Continuum and Application to Little Red Dots
Yi-Xian Chen, Hanpu Liu, Ruancun Li +6
We revisit the spectral appearance of extended self-gravitating accretion disks surrounding compact central objects such as supermassive black holes. Using dust-poor opacities, we…
The Average Soft X-ray Spectra of eROSITA Active Galactic Nuclei
Shi-Jiang Chen, Johannes Buchner, Teng Liu +16
Context. AGNs are strong X-ray emitters shaped by disk-corona interactions. The soft excess (0.5-2.0 keV) reveals key information about the "warm corona" bridging the disk and hot…
On the Relation between the Inclination Angle of the Accretion Disk and the Broad-line Region in Active Galactic Nuclei
Rong Du, Luis C. Ho, Yuanze Ding +1
Models of active galactic nuclei often invoke a close physical association between the broad-line region and the accretion disk. We evaluate this theoretical expectation by investi…
A Two-zone Accretion Disk in the Changing-look Active Galactic Nucleus 1ES 1927+654: Physical Implications for Tidal Disruption Events and Super-Eddington Accretion
Ruancun Li, Luis C. Ho, Claudio Ricci +1
The properties of slim accretion disks, while crucial for our understanding of black hole growth, have yet to be studied extensively observationally. We analyze the multi-epoch bro…
The Interplay between the Disk and Corona of the Changing-look Active Galactic Nucleus 1ES 1927+654
Ruancun Li, Claudio Ricci, Luis C. Ho +4
Time-domain studies of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) offer a powerful tool for understanding black hole accretion physics. Prior to the optical outburst on 23 December 2017, 1ES 19…
Sub-relativistic Outflow and Hours-Timescale Large-amplitude X-ray Dips during Super-Eddington Accretion onto a Low-mass Massive Black Hole in the Tidal Disruption Event AT2022lri
Yuhan Yao, Muryel Guolo, Francesco Tombesi +32
We present the tidal disruption event (TDE) AT2022lri, hosted in a nearby ( Mpc) quiescent galaxy with a low-mass massive black hole ($10^4\,M_\odot < M_{\rm BH} < 10…
The Reliability of Accretion Disk Inclination Derived from X-ray Spectroscopy of Active Galaxies
Rong Du, Yuanze Ding, Luis C. Ho +1
The inclination angle of substructures in active galaxies gives insights into physical components from scales of the vicinity of the central black hole to the entire host galaxy. W…
Systematic Broad-band X-ray Study of super-Eddington Accretion onto Supermassive Black Holes. I. X-ray Continuum
Alessia Tortosa, Claudio Ricci, Luis C. Ho +6
We present the first systematic broad-band X-ray study of super-Eddington accretion onto SMBHs with simultaneous {\it NuSTAR} and {\it XMM-Newton} or {\it Swift}/XRT observations o…
