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…
Precision near-IR spectroscopy for understanding AGN physics and shed light on the H0 tension -- SHARP Science Book
M. Signorini, V. N. Bennert, E. Dalla Bontà +3
The persistent tension between early- and late-Universe measurements of the Hubble constant (H0) remains on of the most significant challenges in modern cosmology. The Spectroastro…
No evolution in the number density of little red dots from cosmic dawn to cosmic noon
Federica Loiacono, Roberto Gilli, Marco Mignoli +24
We present our search for little red dots (LRDs) in the "J1030 field", a region of the sky around the quasar SDSS J1030+0524, observed by the JWST EIGER program. Over 1…
The X-ray-to-UV relation does not evolve in homogeneous quasar samples
G. Risaliti, E. Lusso, E. Nardini +6
We present a new, highly homogeneous quasar sample with X-ray and UV observations optimized to reliably estimate distances via the non-linear X-ray-to-UV relation. Cross-matching t…
Delving into the depths of NGC 3783 with XRISM: V. Broad-band modeling of ionized outflows
Keqin Zhao, Jelle S. Kaastra, Liyi Gu +7
The Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 3783 hosts a multiphase warm absorber (WA) that has been extensively studied in the X-ray band. High-resolution spectra from 2000-2001 revealed a complex o…
Resolved UV-Optical HST Imaging and Spectral Energy Distribution Modeling of Nearby BAT Active Galactic Nuclei
Connor Auge, Michael Koss, Kriti K. Gupta +17
We use high-resolution UV-to-optical imaging from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to construct spatially resolved spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for seven nearby ()…
BASS. LI. Cool gas supply of HI-massive local Seyfert galaxies
Jeein Kim, Aeree Chung, O. Ivy Wong +19
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…
