Relativistic outflows power a quasi-periodic eruption: constraints on energetics, mass loss, and emission mechanisms
Joheen Chakraborty, Erin Kara, Wenbin Lu +17
Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are recurring bursts of X-ray radiation originating from supermassive black holes (SMBHs). They are an unprecedented type of structured, high-amplit…
AGN STORM 2. XII. Ground-Based Optical Photometry and Lag Measurements of Mrk 817
John W. Montano, Aaron J. Barth, Keith Horne +40
We present the ground-based imaging campaign and light curves of Markarian 817 as part of the multiwavelength monitoring program AGN STORM\,2. Observations were carried out over 1.…
XRISM finds the Changing-Look AGN NGC 1365 in an extended low state: A dense, highly ionized outflow obscures the central source
Fatima Zaidouni, Erin Kara, Peter Kosec +21
We present the first XRISM/Resolve observations of the active galactic nucleus, NGC 1365, obtained in 2024 February and July. NGC 1365 is known for rapid transitions between Compto…
AGN STORM 2. XI. Spectroscopic reverberation mapping of the hot dust in Mrk 817
Hermine Landt, Benjamin D. Boizelle, Michael S. Brotherton +41
The AGN Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping 2 (STORM 2) campaign targeted Mrk 817 with intensive multi-wavelength monitoring and found its soft X-ray emission to be s…
AGN STORM 2: X. The origin of the interband continuum delays in Mrk 817
Hagai Netzer, Michael R. Goad, Aaron J. Barth +26
The local (z=0.0315) AGN Mrk 817, was monitored over more than 500 days with space-borne and ground-based instruments as part of a large international campaign AGN STORM 2. Here, w…
AGN STORM 2. VII. A Frequency-resolved Map of the Accretion Disk in Mrk 817: Simultaneous X-ray Reverberation and UVOIR Disk Reprocessing Time Lags
Collin Lewin, Erin Kara, Aaron J. Barth +35
X-ray reverberation mapping is a powerful technique for probing the innermost accretion disk, whereas continuum reverberation mapping in the UV, optical, and infrared (UVOIR) revea…
AGN STORM 2: VIII. Investigating the Narrow Absorption Lines in Mrk 817 Using HST-COS Observations
Maryam Dehghanian, Nahum Arav, Gerard A. Kriss +39
We observed the Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk817 during an intensive multi-wavelength reverberation mapping campaign for 16 months. Here, we examine the behavior of narrow UV absorption lin…
AGN STORM 2: IX. Studying the Dynamics of the Ionized Obscurer in Mrk 817 with High-resolution X-ray Spectroscopy
Fatima Zaidouni, Erin Kara, Peter Kosec +45
We present the results of the XMM-Newton and NuSTAR observations taken as part of the ongoing, intensive multi-wavelength monitoring program of the Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk 817 by the…
The impact of void-finding algorithms on galaxy classification
Fatima Zaidouni, Dahlia Veyrat, Kelly A. Douglass +1
We explore how the definition of a void influences the conclusions drawn about the impact of the void environment on galactic properties using two void-finding algorithms in the Vo…
AGN STORM 2. VI. Mapping Temperature Fluctuations in the Accretion Disk of Mrk 817
Jack M. M. Neustadt, Christopher S. Kochanek, John Montano +49
We fit the UV/optical lightcurves of the Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk 817 to produce maps of the accretion disk temperature fluctuations resolved in time and radius. The maps are…
