Fooled by mass? Recovering the relation of quasars from their X-ray variability
Matilde Signorini, Andrea Sacchi, Bartolomeo Trefoloni +7
We measure the relation between the X-ray photon index and the Eddington ratio in unobscured type-1 quasars, using as parent sample the cross-match of the SDSS DR16Q…
Observation of A Solar Like Magnetic Reconnection Event in an AGN Corona with XRISM
Gal Vardi, Ehud Behar, Liyi Gu +14
The X-ray source in AGN is commonly referred to as the corona by analogy to stellar coronae. The similarities between the two suggest that the heating mechanism of AGN coronae is m…

We present neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) imaging observations of 22 HI-rich (), hard X-ray-selected local Seyferts to explore how cool gas is su…
Radio selection of heavily obscured AGN in the J1030 field: unraveling a missing Compton-thick population
Giovanni Mazzolari, Roberto Gilli, Marco Mignoli +21
We tested the effectiveness of radio selection to discover heavily obscured AGNs, particularly at high-z, and we measured their abundance for the first time from a radio perspectiv…
The X-ray properties of the most luminous quasars with strong emission-line outflows
Anastasia Shlentsova, Bartolomeo Trefoloni, Matilde Signorini +7
Strong outflows from active galactic nuclei are frequently observed in objects with lower coronal X-ray luminosity. This intrinsic X-ray weakness is considered a requirement for th…
BASS LV. Connecting X-ray variability with AGN physical properties and a new path to Cosmological distances
Matilde Signorini, Federica Ricci, Alessia Tortosa +18
X-ray variability is a well-established characteristic of active galactic nuclei (AGN), known to correlate inversely with both the supermassive black hole mass and luminosity, alth…
The accretion of quasars at the epoch of reionisation: catches the primeval monsters slowly feasting
B. Trefoloni, E. Nardini, S. Carniani +8
Quasars (QSOs) emit an enormous amount of light as a result of the accretion of gas onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs). Thanks to their luminosity, the most distant known QSOs a…
Delving into the depths of NGC 3783 with XRISM IV. Mapping of the accretion flow with Fe K emission lines
Chen Li, Jelle S. Kaastra, Liyi Gu +18
Using XRISM/Resolve time-averaged spectra of the well-known Seyfert-1.5 active galactic nucleus (AGN) in NGC 3783, we investigate the nature of the Fe K emission…
Delving into the depths of NGC 3783 with XRISM III. Birth of an ultrafast outflow during a soft flare
Liyi Gu, Keigo Fukumura, Jelle Kaastra +18
The 2024 X-ray/UV observation campaign of NGC 3783, led by XRISM, revealed the launch of an ultrafast outflow (UFO) with a radial velocity of 0.19c (57000 km/s). This event is sync…

BASS LIV. Physical Properties of AGN-Hosting Galaxy Mergers from Multiwavelength SED Fitting
Marco Troncoso, Ezequiel Treister, Alejandra Rojas +17
Galaxy mergers are believed to play an important role in triggering rapid supermassive black hole (SMBH) growth. As merging nuclei approach each other, the physical properties of t…
The X-rayUV Luminosity Relation of eROSITA Quasars
Andrea Sacchi, Guido Risaliti, Matilde Signorini +3
The non-linear relation between the UV and X-ray luminosity in quasars has been studied for decades. However, as we lack a comprehensive model able to explain it, its investigation…
