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…

Energy dependence of the X-ray power spectrum in NGC4051 and NGC4395

V. A. Diamantopoulos, I. E. Papadakis, A. Akylas +3

Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) exhibit strong variability across the electromagnetic spectrum on a wide range of timescales, particularly in X-rays where fluctuations are both rapid…

Harnessing the XMM-Newton data: X-ray spectral modelling of 4XMM-DR11 detections and 4XMM-DR11s sources

A. Viitanen, G. Mountrichas, H. Stiele +13

The XMM-Newton X-ray observatory has played a prominent role in astrophysics, conducting precise and thorough observations of the X-ray sky for the past two decades. The most recen…

Measuring monster MBHs: maybe mighty, maybe merely massive

M. Gliozzi, A. Akylas, J. K. Williams +1

Accurate black hole mass (MBH) measurements in high-z galaxies are difficult yet crucial to constrain the growth of supermassive BHs, and to discriminate between competing BH seed…

Identification of high-redshift X-ray active galactic nuclei in the 4XMM-DR11 serendipitous catalogue using DES data: Comparative analysis with optically-selected QSOs

E. Pouliasis, A. Ruiz, I. Georgantopoulos +8

X-rays provide a robust method in identifying AGN. However, in the high-redshift Universe, their space density is relatively low, and, in combination with the small areas covered b…

The Compton-thick AGN luminosity function in the local Universe: A robust estimate combining BAT detections and NuSTAR spectra

I. Georgantopoulos, E. Pouliasis, A. Ruiz +1

The Compton-thick Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) arguably constitute the most elusive class of sources as they are absorbed by large column densities above logN_H(cm^-2)=24. These ex…
