Multi-tracer constraints on quasar outflows. Acceleration from BLR to galactic scales

M. Brazzini, M. Bischetti, S. Hagen +14

Black hole-driven outflows are a fundamental component of the Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) paradigm, and may play a major role in regulating the evolution of both supermassive blac…

Physically motivated AGN emissivity profiles and their effects on quasar microlensing signatures. 1. Multi-epoch accretion disc size inference

Scott Hagen, Carina Fian

Quasar microlensing is uniquely sensitive to the size-scale of the accretion flow, offering one of the few direct probes of the accretion structure on micro-arcsecond scales. Howev…

Understanding the Broad-line Region of Active Galactic Nuclei with Photoionization. II. Slim disks, Self-shadowing, and BLR sizes

Qiaoya Wu, Yue Shen, Chris Done +2

Reverberation-mapping (RM) measurements have revealed that high-accretion-rate active galactic nuclei (AGNs) systematically lie below the canonical broad-line region (BLR) radius -…

Unveiling BLR Structure in AGN with High Resolution X-Ray Spectra: An Analytic Approach to Wind Emission Line Profiles

Scott Hagen, Chris Done, Gabriele A. Matzeu +1

XRISM has provided an unprecedented view of the emission and absorption lines in the X-ray. Notably, early results showed significant complexity to the Fe-K line profile in AGN,…

Untangling the Complex Nature of AGN Variability with Fairall 9

Scott Hagen, Chris Done, Edward M. Cackett +5

The accretion flow in AGN is not well understood, motivating intensive monitoring campaigns of multiwavelength variability to probe its structure. One of the best of these is the 3…

XRISM Spectroscopy of Accretion-Driven Wind Feedback in NGC 4151

Xin Xiang, Jon M. Miller, Ehud Behar +17

The hottest, most ionized, and fastest winds driven by accretion onto massive black holes have the potential to reshape their host galaxies. Calorimeter-resolution X-ray spectrosco…

The Average Soft X-ray Spectra of eROSITA Active Galactic Nuclei

Shi-Jiang Chen, Johannes Buchner, Teng Liu +16

Context. AGNs are strong X-ray emitters shaped by disk-corona interactions. The soft excess (0.5-2.0 keV) reveals key information about the "warm corona" bridging the disk and hot…

First Light and Reionization Epoch Simulations (FLARES) -- XVIII: the ionising emissivities and hydrogen recombination line properties of early AGN

Stephen M. Wilkins, Aswin P. Vijayan, Scott Hagen +10

One of the most remarkable results from the \emph{James Webb Space Telescope} has been the discovery of a large population of compact sources exhibiting strong broad H emission,…

Disk-jet coupling across the spectral transition in supermassive black holes

Jia-Lai Kang, Chris Done, Scott Hagen +5

Accretion flows in both stellar and supermassive black holes show a distinct spectral transition. This is seen directly in binaries and changing look AGN, and also in a recent samp…

Systematic collapse of the accretion disc in AGN confirmed by UV photometry and broad line spectra

Jia-Lai Kang, Chris Done, Scott Hagen +4

A recent study on the spectral energy distribution (SED) of AGN combined unobscured X-ray sources from the eROSITA eFEDS Survey with high quality optical imaging from Subaru's Hype…

An Eddington Limited Accretion Disk Wind in the narrow line Seyfert 1, PG 1448+273

J. N. Reeves, V. Braito, A. Luminari +5

PG 1448+273 is a luminous, nearby (), narrow line Seyfert 1 galaxy, which likely accretes close to the Eddington limit. Previous X-ray observations of PG 1448 with XMM-Ne…

Revealing the burning and soft heart of the bright bare AGN ESO 141-G55: X-ray broadband and SED analysis

Delphine Porquet, James N. Reeves, Scott Hagen +4

[Abridged] ESO 141-G55 is a nearby X-ray bright BLS1, which has been classified as a bare AGN due to the lack of warm absorption along its line-of-sight, providing an unhampered vi…

Systematic Collapse of the Accretion Disc Across the Supermassive Black Hole Population

Scott Hagen, Chris Done, John D. Silverman +7

The structure of the accretion flow onto supermassive black holes (SMBH) is not well understood. Standard disc models match to zeroth order in predicting substantial energy dissipa…

The Peculiar Bursting Nature of CP Pup

M. Veresvarska, S. Scaringi, S. Hagen +5

The classical nova CP Puppis has been observed to have particularly puzzling and peculiar properties. In particular, this classical nova displays occasional bursts in its long-term…

What Drives the Variability in AGN? Explaining the UV-Xray Disconnect Through Propagating Fluctuations

Scott Hagen, Chris Done, Rick Edelson

Intensive broadband reverberation mapping campaigns have shown that AGN variability is significantly more complex than expected from disc reverberation of the variable X-ray illumi…

Probing the face-on disc-corona system of the bare AGN Mrk 110 from UV to hard X-rays: a moderate changing-state AGN?

Delphine Porquet, Scott Hagen, Nicolas Grosso +4

[Abridged] The X-ray broadband spectra of the bare AGN Mrk 110, obtained by simultaneous XMM-Newton and NuSTAR observations (Nov 2019 and April 2020), are characterised by the pres…

The SOUX AGN sample: Optical/UV/X-ray SEDs and the nature of the disc

Jake A. J. Mitchell, Chris Done, Martin J. Ward +4

We use the SOUX sample of 700 AGN to form average optical-UV-X-rays SEDs on a 2D grid of and . We compare these with the predictions of a new AGN…

Common origin for black holes in both high mass X-ray binaries and gravitational-wave sources

K. Belczynski, C. Done, S. Hagen +2

Black-hole (BH) high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) systems are likely to be the progenitors of BH-BH mergers detected by LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA (LVK). Yet merging BHs reach higher masses ($\s…
