The eROSITA Final Equatorial Depth Survey (eFEDS): SDSS spectroscopic observations of X-ray sources
Catarina Aydar, Andrea Merloni, Tom Dwelly +45
We present one of the largest uniform optical spectroscopic surveys of X-ray selected sources to date that were observed as a pilot study for the Black Hole Mapper (BHM) survey. Th…
eRO-ExTra: eROSITA extragalactic non-AGN X-ray transients and variables in eRASS1 and eRASS2
Iuliia Grotova, Arne Rau, Mara Salvato +19
(Abridged) While previous X-ray studies showed the dominance of regular active galactic nuclei (AGN) variability, a small fraction of sources arise from more exotic phenomena such…
A Newborn AGN in a Starforming Galaxy
P. Arévalo, E. López-Navas, M. L. Martínez-Aldama +8
We report on the finding of a newborn AGN, i.e. current AGN activity in a galaxy previously classified as non-active, and characterize its evolution. Black hole ignition event cand…
Extreme ultra-soft X-ray variability in an eROSITA observation of the Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 Galaxy 1H 0707-495
Th. Boller, T. Liu, P. Weber +9
The ultra-soft narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy 1H 0707-495 is a well-known and highly variable active galactic nucleus (AGN), with a complex, steep X-ray spectrum, and has been studie…
4MOST Consortium Survey 6: Active Galactic Nuclei
A. Merloni, D. A. Alexander, M. Banerji +17
X-ray and mid-infrared emission are signposts of the accretion of matter onto the supermassive black holes that reside at the centres of most galaxies. As a major step towards unde…
The Close AGN Reference Survey (CARS): Mrk 1018 halts dimming and experiences strong short-term variability
M. Krumpe, B. Husemann, G. R. Tremblay +12
After changing optical AGN type from 1.9 to 1 in 1984, the AGN Mrk 1018 recently reverted back to its type 1.9 state. Our ongoing monitoring now reveals that the AGN has halted its…
