MAMBO -- An empirical galaxy and AGN mock catalogue for the exploitation of future surveys
X. López-López, M. Bolzonella, L. Pozzetti +13
Aims. We present MAMBO, a flexible and efficient workflow to build empirical galaxy and Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) mock catalogues that reproduce the physical and observational p…
CircleZ: Reliable Photometric redshifts for AGN computed using only photometry from Legacy Survey Imaging for DESI
A. Saxena, M. Salvato, W. Roster +25
(abridged)Photometric redshifts for AGN (galaxies hosting an accreting supermassive black hole in their center) are notoriously challenging and currently better computed via SED fi…
The SRG/eROSITA All-Sky Survey: X-ray beacons at late cosmic dawn
J. Wolf, M. Salvato, S. Belladitta +12
The SRG/eROSITA All-Sky Survey (eRASS) is expected to contain ~100 quasars that emitted their light when the universe was less than a billion years old, i.e. at z>5.6. By selection…
Cosmic hide and seek: the volumetric rate of X-ray quasi-periodic eruptions
R. Arcodia, A. Merloni, J. Buchner +6
Multi-wavelength extragalactic nuclear transients, particularly those detectable as multi-messengers, are among the primary drivers for the next-generation observatories. X-ray qua…
Winds of change: the nuclear and galaxy-scale outflows and the X-ray variability of 2MASS 0918+2117
P. Baldini, G. Lanzuisi, M. Brusa +21
Powerful outflows from active galactic nuclei (AGN) can significantly impact the gas reservoirs of their host galaxies. However, it is still unclear how these outflows can propagat…
The LOFAR-eFEDS survey: The incidence of radio and X-ray AGN and the disk-jet connection
Z. Igo, A. Merloni, D. Hoang +15
Radio jets are present in a diverse sample of AGN. However, the mechanisms of jet powering are not fully understood, and it is yet unclear to what extent they obey mass-invariant s…
Steep-spectrum AGN in eROSITA Final Equatorial-Depth Survey (eFEDS): Their host galaxies and multi-wavelength properties
K. Iwasawa, T. Liu, Th. Boller +12
We selected sources with a steep soft-X-ray-band spectrum with a photon index larger than 2.5 -- measured by eROSITA on board the Spectrum-Roentgen-Gamma (SRG) -- from the eFEDS AG…
A Case for a Binary Black Hole System Revealed via Quasi-Periodic Outflows
Dheeraj R. Pasham, Francesco Tombesi, Petra Sukova +33
Binaries containing a compact object orbiting a supermassive black hole are thought to be precursors of gravitational wave events, but their identification has been extremely chall…
The SRG/eROSITA all-sky survey: Hard X-ray selected Active Galactic Nuclei
Sophia G. H. Waddell, J. Buchner, K. Nandra +12
The eROSITA instrument aboard the Spectrum Roentgen Gamma (SRG) satellite has performed its first all-sky survey between December 2019 and June 2020. This paper presents the result…
The eROSITA Final Equatorial Depth Survey (eFEDS): the hard X-ray selected sample
K. Nandra, S. G. H. Waddell, T. Liu +25
During its calibration and performance verification phase, the eROSITA instrument aboard the SRG satellite performed a uniform wide--area X-ray survey of approximately 140 deg$^{2}…
Characterisation of the X-ray point source variability in the eROSITA south ecliptic pole field
David Bogensberger, Kirpal Nandra, Mara Salvato +11
Aims: During the Spectrum Roentgen Gamma (SRG)/ eROSITA all-sky surveys, X-ray sources close to the South Ecliptic Pole (SEP) are observed almost every 4 hours. We aim to identify…
Characterising X-ray variability in light curves with complex sampling patterns: application to the eROSITA south ecliptic pole survey
David Bogensberger, Kirpal Nandra, Johannes Buchner
Aims: During its all-sky survey phase, the eROSITA X-ray telescope onboard SRG scans through the ecliptic poles every 4 hours. This extensive data set of long-duration, frequent, a…
The more the merrier: SRG/eROSITA discovers two further galaxies showing X-ray quasi-periodic eruptions
R. Arcodia, Z. Liu, A. Merloni +20
X-ray quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are a novel addition to the group of extragalactic transients. In this work, we report the discovery of two further galaxies showing QPEs, eRO…
The SRG/eROSITA all-sky survey: First X-ray catalogues and data release of the western Galactic hemisphere
A. Merloni, G. Lamer, T. Liu +142
The eROSITA telescope array aboard the Spektrum Roentgen Gamma (SRG) satellite began surveying the sky in December 2019, with the aim of producing all-sky X-ray source lists and sk…
Ensemble X-ray variability of optically selected QSOs: dependence on black hole mass and Eddington ratio
A. Georgakakis, J. Buchner, A. Ruiz +7
Although flux variability is one of the defining properties of accretion flows onto supermassive black holes, its dependence on physical parameters such as the mass of the compact…
