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…

Investigating the nuclear properties of highly accreting active galactic nuclei with XMM-Newton

M. Laurenti, F. Tombesi, F. Vagnetti +7

Our understanding of highly accreting AGNs is hampered by the lack of a complete systematic investigation in terms of their main spectral and variability properties, and by the rel…

Ensemble X-ray variability of optically selected QSOs: dependence on black hole mass and Eddington ratio

A. Georgakakis, J. Buchner, A. Ruiz +7

Although flux variability is one of the defining properties of accretion flows onto supermassive black holes, its dependence on physical parameters such as the mass of the compact…

Probing supermassive black hole growth and its dependence on stellar mass and star-formation rate in low-redshift galaxies

O. Torbaniuk, M. Paolillo, R. D'Abrusco +4

We present an improved study of the relation between supermassive black hole growth and their host galaxy properties in the local Universe (z < 0.33). To this end, we build an exte…

Individual optical variability of Active Galactic Nuclei from the MEXSAS2 sample

M. Laurenti, F. Vagnetti, R. Middei +1

Most of the variability studies of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are based on ensemble analyses. Nevertheless, it is interesting to provide estimates of the individual variability…

Long-Term X-ray Variability of Typical Active Galactic Nuclei in the Distant Universe

G. Yang, W. Brandt, B. Luo +13

We perform long-term ( yr, observed-frame) X-ray variability analyses of the 68 brightest radio-quiet active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the 6 Ms Deep Field-Sou…

Variability Selected Low-Luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei in the 4 Ms Chandra Deep Field-South

M. Young, W. N. Brandt, Y. Q. Xue +8

The 4 Ms Chandra Deep Field-South (CDF-S) and other deep X-ray surveys have been highly effective at selecting active galactic nuclei (AGN). However, cosmologically distant low-lum…

X-ray Spectral Constraints for z~2 Massive Galaxies: The Identification of Reflection-Dominated Active Galactic Nuclei

D. M. Alexander, F. E. Bauer, W. N. Brandt +18

We use the 4Ms CDF-S survey to place direct X-ray constraints on the ubiquity of z~2 heavily obscured AGNs in K<22 BzK galaxies. Forty seven of the 222 BzK galaxies in the central…
