Deep X-ray View of a Distant Protocluster Anchored by a Quasar at : No Evidence for Enhanced X-ray AGN Activity

Shouyi Wang, Feige Wang, Jinyi Yang +22

Whether dense environments accelerate SMBH growth during cosmic reionization remains uncertain because X-ray constraints on protoclusters are rare. We analyze ks of…

A Decade-Scale Ionization Echo of Black-Hole Accretion in Galactic Nuclei

Wei-Jian Guo, Shuo Zhai, Chen Hu +16

Circumnuclear structures in active galactic nuclei respond to accretion variability over different spatial and temporal scales, but whether compact narrow-line gas responds on deca…

Chandra Lensing-cluster Ultradeep Extragalactic Survey (CLUES) I: A 2 Ms Point-Source Catalog of the Abell 2744 Field

Shouyi Wang, Fan Zou, Elena Gallo +10

In the first paper of the Chandra Lensing-cluster Ultradeep Extragalactic Survey (CLUES), we present an ultradeep 2 Ms X-ray survey of the Abell 2744 field constructed from 101 arc…

Strong X-ray Variability of I Zwicky 1: Obscuration from Clumpy Accretion-Disk Winds

Jian Huang, Bin Luo, W. N. Brandt +2

Obscuration from clumpy accretion-disk winds has been invoked to explain the extreme X-ray weakness and X-ray variability observed in a substantial fraction of super-Eddington accr…

A Rare Eddington-Limited, Heavily Obscured Low-Mass Active Galactic Nucleus Likely Triggered by a Galaxy Merger

Shouyi Wang, Fan Zou, Chang-Hao Chen +7

We report a detailed analysis of GAMA 376183, a powerful, heavily obscured active galactic nucleus (AGN) hosted by a low-mass galaxy () likely ex…

Systematic Monitoring of Extreme X-ray Variability from Weak-line Quasars

Madison Reich, W. N. Brandt, Bin Luo +5

We present the results of a multi-cycle Chandra program to systematically monitor the X-ray variability of 10 weak-line quasars (WLQs) that previously had limited multi-epoch X-ray…

On the Extremely X-ray Variable Active Galactic Nuclei in the XMM-LSS Field

Zijian Zhang, Bin Luo, Linhua Jiang +3

We present a systematic investigation of extremely X-ray variable active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the XMM-SERVS XMM-LSS region. Eight variable AGNs are i…

Intervening nuclear obscuration changing the X-ray look of the QSO CFHQS J164121+375520

Fabio Vito, William Nielsen Brandt, Andrea Comastri +16

X-ray observations of the optically selected QSO CFHQS J164121+375520 (hereafter J1641) revealed that its flux dropped by a factor from 2018, when it was a bri…

The Remarkable X-ray Spectra and Variability of the Ultraluminous Weak-Line Quasar SDSS J1521+5202

Shouyi Wang, W. Niel Brandt, Bin Luo +4

We present a focused X-ray and multiwavelength study of the ultraluminous weak-line quasar (WLQ) SDSS J1521+5202, one of the few X-ray weak WLQs that is amenable to basic X-ray spe…

The XMM-SERVS X-ray eXtended Galaxy Cluster (XVXGC) catalog

Weiwei Xu, Linhua Jiang, Ran Li +4

To explain the well-known tension between cosmological parameter constraints obtained from the primary CMB and those drawn from galaxy cluster samples, we propose a possible explan…

X-ray properties of reverberation-mapped AGNs with super-Eddington accreting massive black holes

Jaya Maithil, Michael S. Brotherton, Ohad Shemmer +7

The X-ray properties of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) depend on their underlying physical parameters, particularly the accretion rate. We identified eight reverberation-mapped AGNs…

NuSTAR Observations of Heavily Obscured Quasars at z ~ 0.5

G. B. Lansbury, D. M. Alexander, A. Del Moro +23

We present NuSTAR hard X-ray (3-79 keV) observations of three Type 2 quasars at z ~ 0.4-0.5, optically selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Although the quasars show…

The Radio - X-ray relation as a star formation indicator: Results from the VLA--E-CDFS Survey

S. Vattakunnel, P. Tozzi, F. Matteucci +10

In order to trace the instantaneous star formation rate at high redshift, and hence help understanding the relation between the different emission mechanisms related to star format…
