Radio-dust connection in quasars driven by powerful ionised outflows

V. A. Fawcett, C. M. Harrison, T. Costa +8

Feedback from dusty quasars is thought to be a key driver in galaxy evolution. Multiple studies have reported a link between dust extinction and radio emission in quasars, possibly…

XRISM Resolves the Circum-nuclear Environment of NGC 4945

Peter G. Boorman, Poshak Gandhi, Yoshihiro Ueda +31

Compton-thick Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) represent one of the most elusive phases of massive black hole growth, yet are expected to contribute substantially to the Cosmic X-ray B…

The eROSITA X-ray luminosity function of active galactic nuclei

W. Roster, J. Buchner, M. Salvato +23

The X-ray luminosity function (XLF) of active galactic nuclei (AGN) provides an observational probe of the growth of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) across cosmic time. With its l…

The Twentieth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First All-Sky BOSS Spectra, eROSITA-SDSS-V Mapper Coordinated Observations, and a Preview of the Local Volume Mapper

SDSS Collaboration, Mojgan Aghakhanloo, David Aguilar +273

This paper presents the twentieth data release (DR20) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, the third data release of its fifth generation (SDSS-V). SDSS-V is a panoptic spectroscopy…

AGN radiative feedback as the main regulator of [O III] outflow activity and obscuration in X-ray AGN

Carolina Andonie, Andrea Merloni, Catarina Aydar +12

Large-scale ionised outflows and nuclear obscuration are fundamental manifestations of AGN activity, yet direct observational evidence linking these phenomena remains scarce. We us…

Robust AGN and host-galaxy decomposition in optical spectral fitting

C. Aydar, A. Merloni, G. Zeltyn +24

Unraveling the growth of supermassive black holes and their connection to host galaxies requires disentangling the Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) emission from that of the stellar po…

An obscured quasar census with the 4MOST IR AGN survey: design, predicted properties, and scientific goals

Carolina Andonie, David M. Alexander, Claire Greenwell +11

We present the 4MOST IR AGN survey, the first large-scale optical spectroscopic survey characterizing mid-infrared (MIR) selected obscured active galactic nuclei (AGN). The survey…

ALMA/SCUBA-2 COSMOS Survey: Properties of X-ray- and SED-selected AGNs in Bright Submillimeter Galaxies

Ryosuke Uematsu, Yoshihiro Ueda, David M. Alexander +11

We investigate the properties of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the brightest submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) in the COSMOS field. We utilize the bright sample of ALMA/SCUBA-2 COSM…

Accretion properties of X-ray AGN: Evidence for radiation-regulated obscuration with redshift-dependent host galaxy contribution

Brivael Laloux, Antonis Georgakakis, David M. Alexander +12

We adopt a Bayesian X-ray spectral approach to investigate the accretion properties of unobscured () and obscured ($22< \log(N_{\rm H}/{\rm cm}^…

Ionised AGN outflows in the Goldfish galaxy -- The illuminating and interacting red quasar eFEDSJ091157.4+014327 at z 0.6

Blessing Musiimenta, Giovanna Speranza, Tanya Urrutia +12

Evolutionary models suggest that the initial growth phases of active galactic nuclei (AGN) are dust-enshrouded, and characterised by jet/wind outflows that should gradually clear t…

Probing the roles of orientation and multi-scale gas distributions in shaping the obscuration of Active Galactic Nuclei through cosmic time

Alba V. Alonso-Tetilla, Francesco Shankar, Fabio Fontanot +14

The origin of obscuration in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) is still an open debate. In particular, it is unclear what drives the relative contributions to the line-of-sight column d…

Obscuration beyond the nucleus: infrared quasars can be buried in extreme compact starbursts

Carolina Andonie, David M. Alexander, Claire Greenwell +14

In the standard quasar model, the accretion disk obscuration is due to the canonical dusty torus. Here, we argue that a substantial part of the quasar obscuration can come from the…

Host Dark Matter Halos of WISE-selected Obscured & Unobscured Quasars: Evidence for Evolution

Grayson C. Petter, Ryan C. Hickox, David M. Alexander +4

Obscuration in quasars may arise from steep viewing angles along the dusty torus, or instead may represent a distinct phase of supermassive black hole growth. We test these scenari…

The demographics of obscured AGN from X-ray spectroscopy guided by multiwavelength information

Brivael Laloux, Antonis Georgakakis, Carolina Andonie +10

A complete census of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) is a prerequisite for understanding the growth of supermassive black holes across cosmic time. A significant challenge toward this…

A panchromatic view of infrared quasars: excess star formation and radio emission in the most heavily obscured systems

Carolina Andonie, David M. Alexander, David Rosario +13

To understand the Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) phenomenon and their impact on the evolution of galaxies, a complete AGN census is required; however, finding heavily obscured AGNs i…
