Science of High Resolution X-ray Imaging
H. L. Marshall, K. Weaver, M. Schattenburg +34
This report summarizes potential studies of the Hi-ReX Science Analysis Group for an Ultra-High Angular Resolution X-ray Observatory. Many potential science cases are presented, sp…
JWST Reveals Compact Nuclear Starbursts Masquerading as AGNs in Metal-Poor Dwarfs: Where Are the Accreting Intermediate-Mass Black Holes?
William Matzko, Shobita Satyapal, Jeffrey D. Mckaig +19
We present JWST/NIRSpec spectroscopy of the low-mass, metal-poor galaxy SDSS~J160135.95+311353.7 (J1601), selected for its extreme mid-infrared colors and compact nuclear emission,…
A High Resolution Search for Dual AGN Candidates in Mergers: A Pre-Selection Strategy using Keck AO
Camilo Vazquez, S. Satyapal, G. Canalizo +20
Accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in galaxy mergers with separations 1 kpc are crucial to our understanding of SMBH growth, galaxy evolution, and SMBH binary evolution…
AGN versus Star-formation: A MUSE Analysis of NGC 1365
Kyla Mullaney, Kelly E. Whalen, Jenna Cann +3
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) and star formation feedback may heat and remove gas from galaxies in a process that quenches ongoing star formation and shapes the evolution of galaxie…
The Need for Ultra High Resolution X-ray Imaging
Kimberly A. Weaver, Jenna M. Cann, Ryan Pfeifle +20
This paper discusses the broad science case for obtaining milliarcsecond to microarcsecond astronomical imaging resolution in the soft to medium-energy X-ray band (~0.5 to ~8 keV).…
The SDSS-V Black Hole Mapper Reverberation Mapping Project: Light Echoes of the Coronal Line Region in a Luminous Quasar
Theodore B. Smith, Logan B. Fries, Jonathan R. Trump +19
We present a reverberation mapping analysis of the coronal line [Ne V]3427 emitting region of the quasar COS168 (SDSS J095910.30+020732.2). [Ne V]3427 is known as one of th…
