What's Missing in AGN Feedback? Lessons learnt from Magneticum, IllustrisTNG and Simba

D. T. Mazengo, P. Popesso, I. Marini +20

Accurately balancing gas reservoirs, star formation, and feedback across cosmic time remains a central challenge for galaxy formation models in modern hydrodynamical simulations. W…

AGN radiative feedback as the main regulator of [O III] outflow activity and obscuration in X-ray AGN

Carolina Andonie, Andrea Merloni, Catarina Aydar +12

Large-scale ionised outflows and nuclear obscuration are fundamental manifestations of AGN activity, yet direct observational evidence linking these phenomena remains scarce. We us…

SDSS-V: Revealing a weak accretion state in X-ray selected red quasars

Paloma Guetzoyan, James Aird, Amy L. Rankine +17

Red quasars (rQSOs) have been recognized as a short-lived, early stage in the evolutionary cycle of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), with fundamental differences in their intrinsic pr…

Robust AGN and host-galaxy decomposition in optical spectral fitting

C. Aydar, A. Merloni, G. Zeltyn +24

Unraveling the growth of supermassive black holes and their connection to host galaxies requires disentangling the Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) emission from that of the stellar po…

A large population of over-massive black hole quasars at z=0.3-0.8 revealed by eROSITA

Johannes Buchner, Isabelle Gauger, Qiaoya Wu +14

In most galaxies, the central black hole accounts for no more than a percent of the total mass in stars. Recently, however, extremely over-massive black holes with ratios of 10% ha…

Revisiting the X-ray-to-UV relation of Quasars in the era of all-sky surveys

Maria Chira, Antonis Georgakakis, Angel Ruiz +8

The X-ray--to--UV relation of active galactic nuclei (AGNs), commonly parametrized via the monochromatic luminosities at and , reflects the energetic i…

Changing-Look Active Galactic Nuclei in SDSS-V: Host-Galaxy Properties and Black-Hole Scaling Relations

Grisha Zeltyn, Benny Trakhtenbrot, Michael Eracleous +23

Changing-look active galactic nuclei (CL-AGNs) exhibit dramatic spectral variability on unexpectedly short timescales, challenging standard accretion flow models. Despite growing s…

X-ray selected broad absorption line quasars in SDSS-V: BALs and non-BALs span the same range of X-ray properties

Pranavi Hiremath, Amy L. Rankine, James Aird +10

Broad absorption line (BAL) quasars are often considered X-ray weak relative to their optical/UV luminosity, whether intrinsically (i.e., the coronal emission is fainter) or due to…
