The Accretion Explorer Interferometer (AEI) Phase I NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts Final Report
Kimberly A. Weaver, Jenna M. Cann, Kenneth Carpenter +30
We must create superb X-ray images to understand the detailed physical processes behind some of the most powerful astronomical objects. The need to achieve this capability has been…
Science of High Resolution X-ray Imaging
H. L. Marshall, K. Weaver, M. Schattenburg +34
This report summarizes potential studies of the Hi-ReX Science Analysis Group for an Ultra-High Angular Resolution X-ray Observatory. Many potential science cases are presented, sp…
JWST Reveals Compact Nuclear Starbursts Masquerading as AGNs in Metal-Poor Dwarfs: Where Are the Accreting Intermediate-Mass Black Holes?
William Matzko, Shobita Satyapal, Jeffrey D. Mckaig +19
We present JWST/NIRSpec spectroscopy of the low-mass, metal-poor galaxy SDSS~J160135.95+311353.7 (J1601), selected for its extreme mid-infrared colors and compact nuclear emission,…
AGN versus Star-formation: A MUSE Analysis of NGC 1365
Kyla Mullaney, Kelly E. Whalen, Jenna Cann +3
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) and star formation feedback may heat and remove gas from galaxies in a process that quenches ongoing star formation and shapes the evolution of galaxie…
The Need for Ultra High Resolution X-ray Imaging
Kimberly A. Weaver, Jenna M. Cann, Ryan Pfeifle +20
This paper discusses the broad science case for obtaining milliarcsecond to microarcsecond astronomical imaging resolution in the soft to medium-energy X-ray band (~0.5 to ~8 keV).…
The SDSS-V Black Hole Mapper Reverberation Mapping Project: Light Echoes of the Coronal Line Region in a Luminous Quasar
Theodore B. Smith, Logan B. Fries, Jonathan R. Trump +19
We present a reverberation mapping analysis of the coronal line [Ne V]3427 emitting region of the quasar COS168 (SDSS J095910.30+020732.2). [Ne V]3427 is known as one of the…
Discovery of Multiply Ionized Iron Emission Powered by an Active Galactic Nucleus in a z~7 Little Red Dot
Erini Lambrides, Rebecca Larson, Taylor Hutchison +50
Some of the most puzzling discoveries of NASA's JWST in the early Universe surround the surprising abundance of compact red sources, which show peculiar continuum shapes and broad…
A High Resolution Search for Dual AGN Candidates in Mergers: A Pre-Selection Strategy using Keck AO
Camilo Vazquez, S. Satyapal, G. Canalizo +20
Accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in galaxy mergers with separations 1 kpc are crucial to our understanding of SMBH growth, galaxy evolution, and SMBH binary evolution…
An Increase in the Prevalence of Ionized Outflows in Galaxies with Coronal Line Emission: Feedback in Action?
William Matzko, Shobita Satyapal, Michael Reefe +3
Coronal lines (CLs), which arise from collisionally excited forbidden transitions from highly ionized species, are a powerful diagnostic tool in uncovering active galactic nuclei (…
The CLASS Quasar Catalog: Coronal Line Activity in Type 1 SDSS Quasars
Sara Doan, Shobita Satyapal, Michael Reefe +7
We conduct the first systematic survey of a total of eleven optical coronal lines in the spectra of a large sample of low redshift (z < 0.8) Type 1 quasars observed by the Sloan Di…
Why are optical coronal lines faint in active galactic nuclei?
Jeffrey D. McKaig, Shobita Satyapal, Ari Laor +4
Forbidden collisionally excited optical atomic transitions from high ionization potential (IP54.8\,eV) ions, such as Ca, Ne, Fe$^{\mathrm{6+}}…
Local Analogs of Primordial Galaxies: In Search of Intermediate Mass Black Holes with JWST NIRSpec
Sara Doan, Shobita Satyapal, William Matzko +15
Local low metallicity galaxies with signatures of possible accretion activity are ideal laboratories in which to search for the lowest mass black holes and study their impact on th…
Effective & Ethical Mentorship in Physics and Astronomy through Grassroots Organizations
Natasha Latouf, Emma Schwartzman, Jeffrey McKaig +2
Effective and ethical mentorship practices are crucial to improving recruitment and retention especially for historically minoritized groups (HMGs). Spectrum is a diversity, inclus…
Ray-tracing simulations of the Soft X-ray Scattered Emission in obscured Active Galactic Nuclei
Jeffrey McKaig, Claudio Ricci, Stéphane Paltani +3
Most Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) in the local Universe are obscured. In these obscured AGN an excess is usually observed in the soft X-rays below ~2 keV above the absorbed X-ray c…
X-ray Simulations of Polar Gas in Accreting Supermassive Black Holes
Jeffrey McKaig, Claudio Ricci, Stéphane Paltani +1
Recent observations have shown that a large portion of the mid--infrared (MIR) spectrum of active galactic nuclei (AGN) stems from the polar regions. In this paper, we investigate…
