A Swift X-ray view of the SMS4 sample - III: Deeper insight into previously undetected sources

Alessandro Maselli, William R. Forman, Christine Jones +2

We update the X-ray information given in Maselli et al. (2024) for five bright radio sources in the SMS4 catalog, thanks to additional observations with the X-Ray Telescope (XRT) o…

The first near-infrared high-resolution échelle spectroscopy of the outflow in NGC 4151. A study of the clouds covering the Eye of Sauron

Francesco Gabriele Saturni, Riccardo Middei, Hermine Landt +4

We present the first high-resolution near-infrared spectroscopy of the nucleus of the nearby, well-known Seyfert galaxy NGC 4151 (the "Eye of Sauron"). Past studies of this source…

Directly tracking the re-brightening of a supermassive black hole accretion disk

R. Middei, E. Nardini, C. Done +12

Accretion onto supermassive black holes powers the most luminous persistent sources in the Universe, the so-called active galactic nuclei, whose emission is characterized by two di…

Tracking down the broadband polarimetric properties of PG 1553+113

Riccardo Middei, Svetlana G. Jorstad, Alan P. Marscher +78

We report on a nine-month monitoring campaign of the blazar PG 1553+113, relying on three observations carried out in 2025 with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) and su…

Ultra-thick warm absorbers: Enlarging the parameter space of AGN ionised outflows

R. Middei, E. Piconcelli, E. Nardini +9

The analysis of X-ray absorption features in active galactic nuclei (AGN) provides a wealth of information about the physical properties of the matter surrounding supermassive blac…

Magnetic-field Order in the Southwestern Rim of RCW 86 Constrained Using X-Ray Polarimetry

Stefano Silvestri, Dmitry Prokhorov, Jacco Vink +97

RCW 86 is a supernova remnant whose origin has recently been linked to an off-center explosion within a cavity created by its progenitor star. In the southwestern region, the forwa…
