The rise and decline of a transient obscuration event in a moderately distant type-I quasar

A. Akylas, A. Georgakakis, E. Pouliasis +5

Outflows of ionised material, often dubbed warm absorbers (WAs), are common in nearby Seyferts but sparse in distant and more energetic quasars (QSOs). We present multi-epoch X-ray…

Photometric redshifts for active galactic nuclei with LePHARE for the Vera C. Rubin Observatory

R. Shirley, M. Salvato, J. Cohen-Tanugi +31

Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) play a crucial role in galaxy evolution, but they are a minority of extragalactic sources with diverse Spectral Energy Distributions (SEDs), which depe…

The eROSITA X-ray luminosity function of active galactic nuclei

W. Roster, J. Buchner, M. Salvato +23

The X-ray luminosity function (XLF) of active galactic nuclei (AGN) provides an observational probe of the growth of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) across cosmic time. With its l…

VAR-PZnn: A machine-learning framework for AGN photometric redshifts using color and variability-based features

S. Satheesh-Sheeba, P. Sánchez-Sáez, R. J. Assef +39

Photometric redshift estimation for active galactic nuclei (AGNs) remains a fundamental challenge for current and upcoming large-scale photometric surveys. Traditional spectral ene…

Spatially resolved optical and mid-infrared spectroscopy of SDSS1335+0728: implications for the origin of the Ansky event

P. Sánchez-Sáez, M. Masterson, L. Hernández-García +25

The galaxy SDSS1335+0728 brightened abruptly in December 2019 (the Ansky event) and has since been confirmed as the host of extreme X-ray quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) of debated…

An X-ray and optical spectral study of the changing-look narrow-line Seyfert 1 2MASX J0413-0050

A. Vietri, A. Tortosa, D. Ilić +12

Active galactic nuclei (AGN) showing dramatic spectral and flux variations, either due to changes in the accretion rate (changing-state, CS-AGN) of the supermassive black hole or i…

AGILE: an end-to-end Rubin-LSST simulation of AGNs, galaxies, and stars I. Software description and first data release

A. Viitanen, A. Bongiorno, I. Saccheo +37

Contemporary large-scale surveys such as the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) and Euclid present an unprecedented discovery potential for studying A…

SDSS-V Black Hole Mapper: The Index Diagram as a tool to disentangle the influence of the Host Galaxy in Quasar spectra

C. A. Negrete, R. Sandoval-Orozco, H. Ibarra-Medel +32

We revisit the Quasar Main Sequence (QMS) by investigating the impact of the stellar component from the host galaxy (HG) on the emission line spectra of the active galactic nuclei…

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…

CircleZ: Reliable Photometric redshifts for AGN computed using only photometry from Legacy Survey Imaging for DESI

A. Saxena, M. Salvato, W. Roster +25

(abridged)Photometric redshifts for AGN (galaxies hosting an accreting supermassive black hole in their center) are notoriously challenging and currently better computed via SED fi…

SDSS1335+0728: The awakening of a black hole

P. Sánchez-Sáez, L. Hernández-García, S. Bernal +22

The galaxy SDSS1335+0728, which had exhibited no prior optical variations during the preceding two decades, began showing significant nuclear variability in the Zwicky Transient Fa…
