Investigating the origin of radio emission in candidate super-Eddington accreting black holes

Marie-Lou Gendron-Marsolais, Paola Marziani, Marco Berton +8

Recent works show that the radio power of quasars accreting at very high rates can reach surprisingly high values. These studies suggest that this radio emission might originate fr…

AGN Variability with Rubin Observatory in the 2030s

Swayamtrupta Panda, Francisco Pozo Nuñez, Hygor Benati Gonçalves +4

AGN variability offers a direct probe of accretion physics, disk structure, and black hole growth, but progress has been limited by sample size, cadence heterogeneity, and photomet…

Evidence for a Stratified Accretion Disk Wind in AGN

P. Marziani, E. Bon, S. Panda +5

We present observational evidence supporting the presence of a stratified accretion disk wind in active galactic nuclei (AGN), based on multi-wavelength spectroscopic analysis of b…

The spectral energy distribution of extreme population A quasars

Karla Garnica, Deborah Dultzin, Paola Marziani +1

Knowledge of the broad-band active galactic nuclei (AGN) spectral energy distribution (SED) that ionizes the gas-rich broad emission line region is key to understanding the various…

LBT IR observations of candidate super-Eddington quasars

T. M. Buendia-Rios, P. Marziani, C. A. Negrete +1

Quasars accreting at very high rates are believed to be prime movers of galactic evolution because of their high radiative and mechanical output. The study presented in this paper…
