Variability of the X-ray obscuring wind in Mrk 335 with XMM-Newton/RGS

Daniele Rogantini, Erin Kara, Luigi Gallo +10

Transient X-ray obscuration in Seyfert 1 galaxies likely arises from clumpy accretion-disk winds near the broad-line region (BLR), but the wind structure and short-timescale variab…

The Disk Plus (Failed) Wind System of 3C 47: A Story of Accretion Disks and Binary Black Holes

P. Marziani, S. Terefe Mengistue, A. del Olmo +9

[Abridged] Optically thick, geometrically thin accretion disks around supermassive black holes are thought to contribute to broad-line emission in type-1 active galactic nuclei (AG…

Insights into Supermassive Black Hole Mergers from the Gravitational Wave Background

C. M. F. Mingarelli, L. Blecha, T. Bogdanović +9

At the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, participants of the rapid response workshop on the gravitational wave background explored discrepancies between experimental results…

Eight Years of Light from ASASSN-15oi: Towards Understanding the Late-time Evolution of TDEs

A. Hajela, K. D. Alexander, R. Margutti +26

We present the results from an extensive follow-up campaign of the Tidal Disruption Event (TDE) ASASSN-15oi spanning d, offering an unprecedented window into th…

A Hot Mess: The Rich and Complex Soft Emitting Regions Surrounding the Reflection Dominated Flaring Central Engine of Mrk 1239

Margaret Z. Buhariwalla, L. C. Gallo, J. Mao +5

Previous X-ray works on Mrk 1239 have revealed a complex Narrow Line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) that exhibits substantial absorption and strong emission from both collisional (CIE) and photo…

The transient event in NGC 1566 from 2017 to 2019 -- I. An eccentric accretion disk and a turbulent, disk-dominated broad-line region unveiled by double-peaked Ca II and O I lines

M. W. Ochmann, W. Kollatschny, M. A. Probst +12

NGC 1566 is known for exhibiting recurrent outbursts, which are accompanied by changes in spectral type. The most recent transient event occurred from 2017 to 2019 and was reported…

Changing-look NLS1 galaxies, their detection with SVOM, and the case of NGC 1566

D. W. Xu, S. Komossa, D. Grupe +15

We discuss applications of the study of the new and barely explored class of changing-look (CL) narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) galaxies and comment on their detection with the space…

Gaia Photometric Science Alerts

S. T. Hodgkin, D. L. Harrison, E. Breedt +108

Since July 2014, the Gaia mission has been engaged in a high-spatial-resolution, time-resolved, precise, accurate astrometric, and photometric survey of the entire sky. Aims: We pr…

Polarimetric properties of Event Horizon Telescope targets from ALMA

Ciriaco Goddi, Ivan Marti-Vidal, Hugo Messias +31

We present the results from a full polarization study carried out with ALMA during the first VLBI campaign, which was conducted in Apr 2017 in the 3mm and 1.3mm bands, in con…

Total eclipse of the heart: The AM CVn Gaia14aae / ASSASN-14cn

H. C. Campbell, T. R. Marsh, M. Fraser +82

We report the discovery and characterisation of a deeply eclipsing AM CVn-system, Gaia14aae (= ASSASN-14cn). Gaia14aae was identified independently by the All-Sky Automated Survey…

The NuSTAR spectrum of Mrk 335: Extreme relativistic effects within 2 gravitational radii of the event horizon?

M. L. Parker, D. R. Wilkins, A. C. Fabian +18

We present 3-50 keV NuSTAR observations of the AGN Mrk 335 in a very low flux state. The spectrum is dominated by very strong features at the energies of the iron line at 5-7 keV a…

A remarkable long-term light curve, and deep, low-state spectroscopy: Swift & XMM-Newton monitoring of the NLS1 galaxy Mkn 335

D. Grupe, S. Komossa, L. C. Gallo +5

The Narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy (NLS1) Mkn 335 is remarkable because it has repeatedly shown deep, long X-ray low-states which show pronounced spectral structure. It has become on…
