Spectroscopic redshifts of selected flat-spectrum radio sources I

Dmitry Blinov, Alberto Floris, Andreas Zezas +5

We present the first results of a spectroscopic campaign carried out as part of the Search for Milli-Lenses (SMILE) program, which aims to constrain the prevalence of gravitational…

EP260321a/SN 2026gzf: The Faintest Shock Breakout Associated with a Broad-Lined Supernova

Brendan O'Connor, Xander J. Hall, Malte Busmann +33

The explosion of a star is first marked by the shock wave breaking out of the stellar surface, producing a burst of ultraviolet and X-ray radiation. These events are observationall…

HALO II: Constraining Hubble constant through continuum delay fitting of Fairall 9

Amit Kumar Mandal, Francisco Pozo Nuñez, Vikram Kumar Jaiswal +28

The Hubble tension remains one of the most significant unresolved problems in modern cosmology. A key question is whether it may arise from underestimated systematic uncertainties…

Observations of a Possible Transient Magnetically Arrested Accretion State in a Nearby Quasar: OQ208

Brian Punsly, Cormac Reynolds, Paola Marziani +12

OQ208 is a nearby, partially obscured quasar (z=0.077) that is a young, bright, parsec scale radio source. We assemble archival and new high frequency VLBA and VLA observations and…

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…

Super-Eddington Accretion in Quasars

P. Marziani, K. Garnica Luna, A. Floris +5

This review provides an observational perspective on the fundamental properties of super-Eddington accretion onto supermassive black holes in quasars. It begins by outlining the se…

Dark and bright sides of the Broad Line Region clouds as seen in the FeII emission of SDSS RM 102

Alberto Floris, Ashwani Pandey, Bozena Czerny +4

Contamination from singly ionized iron emission is one of the greatest obstacles to determining the intensity of emission lines in the UV and optical wavelength ranges. This study…

Chemical abundances along the quasar main sequence

A. Floris, P. Marziani, S. Panda +5

The 4D eigenvector 1 (E1) sequence has emerged as a powerful tool for organizing the observational and physical characteristics of type-1 active galactic nuclei (AGNs). In this stu…

From sub-solar to super-solar chemical abundances along the quasar main sequence

Paola Marziani, Alberto Floris, Alice Deconto-Machado +8

The 4D Eigenvector 1 sequence has proven to be a highly effective tool for organizing observational and physical properties of type 1 active galactic nuclei (AGN). In this paper, w…
