Extreme Variability Reveals How the Eddington Ratio Regulates Coronal Power in Active Galactic Nuclei

Arghajit Jana, Claudio Ricci, Franz E. Bauer +13

The bolometric luminosity () of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is a key tracer of accretion physics, but its direct determination is often hindered by limited spectral…

Resolved UV-Optical HST Imaging and Spectral Energy Distribution Modeling of Nearby BAT Active Galactic Nuclei

Connor Auge, Michael Koss, Kriti K. Gupta +17

We use high-resolution UV-to-optical imaging from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to construct spatially resolved spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for seven nearby ()…

Temporal Variation of the Coronal Radius Parameter in a Jetted Tidal Disruption Event: Swift J1644+57

Arka Chatterjee, Kimitake Hayasaki, Prantik Nandi +5

Tidal Disruption Events are exotic astrophysical phenomena where matter from a star or the interstellar medium is captured by a supermassive black hole. The process liberates enorm…

BASS LV. Connecting X-ray variability with AGN physical properties and a new path to Cosmological distances

Matilde Signorini, Federica Ricci, Alessia Tortosa +18

X-ray variability is a well-established characteristic of active galactic nuclei (AGN), known to correlate inversely with both the supermassive black hole mass and luminosity, alth…

Multi-wavelength properties of changing-state active galactic nuclei: I. the evolution of soft excess and X-ray continuum

Arghajit Jana, Claudio Ricci, Alessia Tortosa +11

Changing-state active galactic nuclei (CSAGNs) exhibit rapid variability, with mass accretion rates that can change by several orders of magnitude in a few years. This provides us…

Discovery of Changing-Look behavior in AGN NGC 3822: A long-term multiwavelength study

Narendranath Layek, Prantik Nandi, Sachindra Naik +7

We present a comprehensive long-term multi-wavelength study of the active galactic nucleus (AGN) NGC 3822, based on 17 years (2008 to 2025) of X-ray, ultraviolet (UV), and optical…

BASS LII: The prevalence of double-peaked broad lines at low accretion rates among hard X-ray selected AGN

Charlotte Ward, Michael J. Koss, Michael Eracleous +18

A fraction of active galactic nuclei (AGN) have double-peaked H, H and Mg II broad lines attributed to emission from rotating gas in the accretion disk. Using optical spectro…

BASS LIII: The Eddington Ratio as the Primary Regulator of the Fraction of X-ray Emission in Active Galactic Nuclei

Kriti Kamal Gupta, Claudio Ricci, Alessia Tortosa +20

Active galactic nuclei (AGN) emit radiation via accretion across the entire energy spectrum. While the standard disk and corona model can somewhat describe this emission, it fails…

Sloan Digital Sky Survey-V: Pioneering Panoptic Spectroscopy

Juna A. Kollmeier, Hans-Walter Rix, Conny Aerts +217

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey-V (SDSS-V) is pioneering panoptic spectroscopy: it is the first all-sky, multi-epoch, optical-to-infrared spectroscopic survey. SDSS-V is mapping the s…

ALMA observation of evolving magnetized corona in the radio-quiet changing-state AGN NGC 1566

Arghajit Jana, Claudio Ricci, Sophie M. Venselaar +9

The origin of compact millimeter (mm) continuum emission from radio-quiet AGNs (RQAGNs) is still not fully understood. Changing-state AGNs (CSAGNs) display rapid and strong variabi…

Investigating Changing-Look Active Galactic Nuclei with Long-term Optical and X-Ray Observations

A. Jana, C. Ricci, M. J. Temple +7

Changing-look active galactic nuclei (CLAGNs) show the appearance and disappearance of broad emission lines in their UV/optical spectra on timescales of months to decades. Here, we…
