Constraining AGN accretion physics with black hole mass-luminosity scaling relations
F. Fiore, M. Gaspari, S. Puccetti +3
We test how supermassive black holes are fed by combining new black hole mass-luminosity relations with physically motivated feeding models. We build a uniform sample of 1729 unobs…
The Little Blue and Red Dots Rosetta Stones: Non-Gaussian broad lines, hot dust, and X-ray weakness
M. Brazzini, F. D'Eugenio, R. Maiolino +31
The population of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) newly discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) exhibits peculiar properties that distinguish it from both local type I AGN…
The WISSH quasar project. XII. X-ray view of the most luminous quasi-stellar objects at Cosmic Noon
C. Degli Agosti, C. Vignali, E. Piconcelli +25
To improve our knowledge of nuclear emission in luminous QSOs at Cosmic Noon, we studied the X-ray emission of the WISE/SDSS-selected hyper-luminous (WISSH) QSO sample: 85 broad-li…
HYPERION: broad-band X-ray-to-near-infrared emission of Quasars in the first billion years of the Universe
I. Saccheo, A. Bongiorno, E. Piconcelli +41
We aim at characterizing the X-ray-to-optical/near-infrared broad-band emission of luminous QSOs in the first Gyr of cosmic evolution to understand whether they exhibit differences…
Galaxy Formation and Symbiotic Evolution with the Inter-Galactic Medium in the Age of ELT-ANDES
Valentina D'Odorico, James S. Bolton, Lise Christensen +21
High-resolution absorption spectroscopy toward bright background sources has had a paramount role in understanding early galaxy formation, the evolution of the intergalactic medium…
