Simulation-based inference for AGN jet population modelling: Towards more robust comparisons of black hole jet speeds
Clara Lilje, James H. Matthews, Rob Fender
We present the most complete modelling of the MOJAVE 1.5 Jansky Quarter Century active galactic nuclei (AGN) jet population, using likelihood-free simulation-based inference. Due t…
A MIGHTEE robust measurement of the star formation rate-radio correlation
Charlotte L. Jackson, Matt J. Jarvis, Imogen H. Whittam +9
Determining the relationship between star-formation rate (SFR) and the radio luminosity () is critical if we are to trace the star-formation history of the Universe dust-a…
Observational Biases and Improved Modelling of Off-axis Relativistic Jets
A. J. Cooper, A. P. Scott, L. Rhodes +8
Relativistic Doppler boosting significantly affects the observed emission of astrophysical jets resulting in observational biases. In this work we investigate the observational bia…
The Homogeneous MeerKAT and Swift/XRT X-ray Binary Radio:X-ray Plane
Justine Crook-Mansour, Rob Fender, Andrew Hughes +22
During the hard and quiescent spectral states in X-ray binaries, a non-linear correlation is observed between radio and X-ray luminosities, providing a valuable tool to probe the c…
Spin Demographics of Active Supermassive Black Holes: Updated Estimates from X-ray reflection and Future opportunities
Julia M. Sisk-Reynes, Christopher S. Reynolds, James H. Matthews +5
Understanding the growth of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) requires observational constraints on how their angular momentum (or spin) varies with mass, since the relative importa…
The impact of flickering variability and magnetisation on the dynamics, stability and morphology of radio-loud AGN jets
Emma L. Elley, James H. Matthews, Henry Whitehead +1
The physics governing the morphology of radio-loud AGN jets is not fully understood. We investigate how magnetization, flickering jet power and their interplay affects the morpholo…
