A Stellar Dynamical Mass for the Central Black Hole in MCG06-30-15
Nabanita Das, Misty C. Bentz, Eugene Vasiliev +4
We present the stellar dynamical mass of the central black hole in the nearby Seyfert galaxy MCG06-30-15 using the Schwarzschild orbit-superposition method implemented in the op…
Stellar-gas kinematic misalignments in EAGLE: enhanced SMBH growth in misaligned galaxies
Maximilian K. Baker, Timothy A. Davis, Freeke van de Voort +1
Stellar-gas kinematic misalignments are a transient phenomenon observed in of the local galaxy population. According to current models, misaligned gas is expected to los…
Kinematic misalignment as a driver of black hole activity in galaxies with external interactions
Sandra I. Raimundo, Rogerio Riffel, Song-lin Li +6
The process of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) fuelling relies on the transport of gas across several orders of magnitude in physical scale until the gas reaches the supermassive blac…
Flares in the Changing Look AGN Mrk 590. II: Deep X-ray observations reveal a Comptonizing inner accretion flow
Daniel Lawther, Marianne Vestergaard, Sandra Raimundo +2
Mrk 590 is a Changing Look AGN currently in an unusual repeat X-ray and UV flaring state. Here, we report on deep X-ray observations with XMM-Newton, NuSTAR, and NICER, obtained at…
