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…

A deep X-ray look to the most obscured quasar at z~3.6 and its environment

I. Villani, L. Zappacosta, E. Piconcelli +17

The most luminous and obscured quasars (QSOs) detected in infrared all-sky surveys could represent a key co-evolutionary phase from nuclear to circum-galactic (CG) scales in the fo…

The WISSH quasar project. XII. X-ray view of the most luminous quasi-stellar objects at Cosmic Noon

C. Degli Agosti, C. Vignali, E. Piconcelli +25

To improve our knowledge of nuclear emission in luminous QSOs at Cosmic Noon, we studied the X-ray emission of the WISE/SDSS-selected hyper-luminous (WISSH) QSO sample: 85 broad-li…

HYPERION: broad-band X-ray-to-near-infrared emission of Quasars in the first billion years of the Universe

I. Saccheo, A. Bongiorno, E. Piconcelli +41

We aim at characterizing the X-ray-to-optical/near-infrared broad-band emission of luminous QSOs in the first Gyr of cosmic evolution to understand whether they exhibit differences…

Modelling absorption and emission profiles from accretion disc winds with WINE

Alfredo Luminari, Enrico Piconcelli, Francesco Tombesi +2

Fast, massive winds are ubiquitously observed in the UV and X-ray spectra of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) and other accreting sources. Theoretical and observational evidences sugge…

HYPERION. Shedding light on the first luminous quasars: A correlation between UV disc winds and X-ray continuum

A. Tortosa, L. Zappacosta, E. Piconcelli +41

One of the main open questions in the field of luminous () quasars (QSOs) at is the rapid formation (Gyr) of their superm…
