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…

Towards a complete census of luminous Compton-thick Active Galactic Nuclei in the local Universe

A. Akylas, I. Georgantopoulos, P. Gandhi +2

X-ray surveys provide the most efficient means for the detection of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). However, they face difficulties in detecting the most heavily obscured Compton-thi…

AGN populations in the local universe: their alignment with the main-sequence, characteristics of their stellar populations, accretion efficiency, and the impact of AGN feedback

G. Mountrichas, A. Ruiz, I. Georgantopoulos +3

In this study, we utilize a sample of 338 galaxies within the redshift range of , drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), for which there are available clas…

Ensemble X-ray variability of optically selected QSOs: dependence on black hole mass and Eddington ratio

A. Georgakakis, J. Buchner, A. Ruiz +7

Although flux variability is one of the defining properties of accretion flows onto supermassive black holes, its dependence on physical parameters such as the mass of the compact…
