Supermassive Black Hole Winds in X-rays: SUBWAYS IV. Tracing Radio Emission and Unveiling the Role of Winds
E. Amenta, M. Brienza, G. Bruni +30
Most Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are Radio Quiet, with radio emission that may arise from star-formation activity, AGN-driven winds, weak jets, and coronal activity. Disentangling…
The WISSHFUL program: the highest redshift UFO discovered in a non-lensed QSO
G. Lanzuisi, L. Borrelli, E. Piconcelli +28
We present the first results from the WISSHFUL program, an XMM-Newton heritage program targeting luminous QSOs at Cosmic Noon. We report on recent simultaneous XMM-Newton and NuSTA…
BlackHoleWeather -- Jet-regulated chaotic cold accretion across the meso scale: Variability and kinematics
Vieri Cammelli, Massimo Gaspari, Filippo Barbani +10
Chaotic cold accretion (CCA) predicts that supermassive black holes are fed by multiphase clouds condensing from turbulent hot atmospheres. In jet-regulated systems cold gas must a…
BlackHoleWeather -- Spin-coupled chaotic cold accretion across the meso scale: Variability and kinematics
Olmo Piana, Massimo Gaspari, Vieri Cammelli +10
Supermassive black hole (SMBH) spin records the vector history of accretion. In chaotic cold accretion (CCA), this history is set by clouds and filaments whose torques can add cohe…
BlackHoleWeather -- Chaotic cold accretion across the meso-scale: Morphology and thermodynamics
Filippo Barbani, Massimo Gaspari, Vieri Cammelli +12
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) self-regulate galaxies, groups, and clusters, yet the pathway transporting gas from halo scales to sub-pc radii remains debated. In hot stratified…
BlackHoleWeather -- Chaotic cold accretion across the meso-scale: Variability and kinematics
Filippo Barbani, Massimo Gaspari, Olmo Piana +12
Accretion onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in realistic halos is time-variable, governed by turbulence, cooling, and multiphase condensation. In chaotic cold accretion (CCA),…
