Detecting Intermediate-mass Black Holes Using Quasar Microlensing

Zihao Wu, Luis C. Ho

Recent studies suggest that numerous intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) may wander undetected across the Universe, emitting little radiation. These IMBHs largely preserve their…

From Non-Detection to Detection: Atacama Compact Array Mosaic Observations of Faint Extended [C I] Emission in NGC 7679

Tomonari Michiyama, Toshiki Saito, Kouichiro Nakanishi +8

We report the detection of [C I] -- emission in the nearby galaxy NGC 7679 using the Atacama Compact Array (ACA) of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (…

The Detection Rate of Associated \mgii\ Absorption Lines in Quasars Depends on Their Radio Emission

Chen ZF, Luis C. Ho

In active galactic nuclei, jet-driven feedback plays a significant role in influencing the properties of gas within their host galaxy and the circumgalactic medium. By combining ob…

A Dual Active Black Hole Candidate with Mass Ratio ~7:1 in a Disk Galaxy

Xiao Cao, Yan-Mei Chen, Yong Shi +8

Dual active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with comparable masses are commonly witnessed among the major merged galaxies with interaction remnants. Considering almost every massive galaxy…

X-Ray Constraints on the Hot Gaseous Corona of Edge-on Late-type Galaxies in Virgo

Meicun Hou, Lin He, Zhensong Hu +6

We present a systematic study of the putative hot gas corona around late-type galaxies (LTGs) residing in the Virgo cluster, based on archival Chandra observations. Our sample cons…

First Sagittarius A* Event Horizon Telescope Results. V. Testing Astrophysical Models of the Galactic Center Black Hole

The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration

In this paper, we provide a first physical interpretation for the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT)'s 2017 observations of Sgr A*. Our main approach is to compare resolved EHT data at…

Accretion-modified Stars in Accretion Disks of Active Galactic Nuclei: the Low-luminosity Cases and an Application to Sgr A

J. -M. Wang, J. -R. Liu, Y. -R. Li +3

In this paper, we investigate the astrophysical processes of stellar-mass black holes (sMBHs) embedded in advection-dominated accretion flows (ADAFs) of supermassive black holes (S…

Black holes regulate cool gas accretion in massive galaxies

Tao Wang, Ke Xu, Yuxuan Wu +10

The nucleus of almost all massive galaxies contains a supermassive black hole (BH). The feedback from the accretion of these BHs is often considered to have crucial roles in establ…

ReveaLLAGN 0: First Look at JWST MIRI data of Sombrero and NGC 1052

K. Goold, A. Seth, M. Molina +28

We present the first results from the Revealing Low-Luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei (ReveaLLAGN) survey, a JWST survey of seven nearby LLAGN. We focus on two observations with th…

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping Project: Accretion-Disk Sizes from Continuum Lags

Y. Homayouni, Jonathan R. Trump, C. J. Grier +12

We present accretion-disk structure measurements from continuum lags in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping (SDSS-RM) project. Lags are measured using the \texttt{JA…
