XRISM Resolves the Circum-nuclear Environment of NGC 4945

Peter G. Boorman, Poshak Gandhi, Yoshihiro Ueda +31

Compton-thick Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) represent one of the most elusive phases of massive black hole growth, yet are expected to contribute substantially to the Cosmic X-ray B…

Two Peas in a Pod: The First Confirmed Dual Active Galactic Nucleus within a Green Pea Galaxy System

Konstantinos Kouroumpatzakis, Peter G. Boorman, Jiří Svoboda +5

The growth of galaxies in the early Universe is thought to be dominated by compact, intensely star-forming systems, yet the corresponding growth of supermassive black holes (SMBHs)…

Low-hard to high-soft spectral state transitions in the faintest early-X-ray-detected optical tidal disruption event TDE 2025aarm

Pietro Baldini, Arne Rau, Andrea Merloni +11

We report the X-ray and optical spectroscopic properties of TDE 2025aarm, the second closest tidal disruption event (TDE) discovered to date. The proximity of this source, combined…

The Hunt for Red Dual AGNs I: Spatially-Resolved Mid-IR Dual AGNs in the DeCam Legacy Survey

Ryan W. Pfeifle, Kimberly A. Weaver, Barry Rothberg +13

Theoretical studies predict that dual AGNs are a critical stage of galaxy merger-driven supermassive black hole growth. Systematic searches for dual AGNs typically target late-stag…

Blueberry and Green Pea galaxies live in low density environments

Maitrayee Gupta, Jiří Svoboda, Konstantinos Kouroumpatzakis +3

Little is currently known about the large-scale environments of Green Pea (GP) and Blueberry (BB) galaxies, which are low-mass, compact systems with extreme specific star-formation…

Complex Nuclear Structure in Seyfert 2 Galaxy NGC 4388 Revealed by XRISM Observation

Kanta Fujiwara, Yoshihiro Ueda, Shoji Ogawa +13

We report results from the simultaneous XRISM (183 ks) and NuSTAR (62 ks) observations of the Seyfert-2 galaxy NGC 4388. This AGN has the brightest Fe K line among Compton-thin,…

PACHA: Probing AGN Coronae with High-redshift AGN

Xiurui Zhao, Elias Kammoun, Marco Ajello +18

The X-ray emission of active galactic nuclei (AGN) is generally attributed to inverse Compton scattering of accretion-disk photons by hot electrons in a compact corona. In local AG…

X-ray observations of Blueberry galaxies

B. Adamcová, J. Svoboda, E. Kyritsis +7

Compact star-forming galaxies were dominant galaxy types in the early Universe. Blueberry galaxies (BBs) represent their local analogues being very compact and having intensive sta…

Blueberry galaxies up to 200 Mpc and their optical and infrared properties

K. Kouroumpatzakis, J. Svoboda, A. Zezas +6

Dwarf highly star-forming galaxies (SFGs) dominated the early Universe and are considered the main driver of its reionization. However, direct observations of these distant galaxie…
