Supermassive Black Hole Winds in X-rays -- SUBWAYS. VI. Interplay between the soft X-ray excess and ultra-fast outflows
V. E. Gianolli, P-O. Petrucci, S. Bianchi +42
We present a broadband, multiwavelength study of the interplay between the soft X-ray excess (SE), ultra-fast outflows (UFOs), and warm absorbers (WAs) in 21 active galactic nuclei…
Distilling Graph Geometry: Knowledge Gap from GNNs to MLPs
Zhewei Chen, Hao Zhu, Jiaojiao Jiang +1
GNN-to-MLP distillation aims to retain the predictive accuracy of a message-passing teacher while deploying a graph-free MLP at inference. Existing methods mainly transfer node-wis…
A relativistic inflow candidate in a quasar at cosmic noon
Yerong Xu, Xiurui Zhao, Elena Bertola +14
Cosmic noon () marks the peak epoch of cosmic star formation and black hole accretion activity, where strong accretion and outflows are expected. We report two candidate ab…
The WISSH quasars project XIII. A multi-epoch study of ultra-fast broad absorption line outflows at cosmic noon
A. Deconto-Machado, G. Vietri, E. Piconcelli +22
Ultra-fast broad absorption line outflows (uBAL, ~0.1-0.2c) represent some of the most extreme manifestations of quasar-driven winds. We aim to investigate the variability of uBALs…
Detection of episodic Ultra-fast Outflows in the Low-luminosity quasar Mrk 205 using XMM-Newton data
César Ivan Victoria-Ceballos, Anna Lia Longinotti, Yair Krongold +3
Ultra-fast outflows (UFOs) from Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are winds which reach velocities up to 0.3c, and show mass outflow rates of 0.01-1 and kinetic ener…
AGN X-ray coronae at high luminosity: A broadband study of RBS 229 and PG 1407+265
Alessandro Leonardo Lai, Stefano Bianchi, Andrea Marinucci +8
Context. The X-ray emission of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is commonly interpreted as arising from Comptonisation in a hot corona above the accretion disc. A prominent soft X-ray…
Rapid growth in a dual AGN during a gas-rich merger at z~4.5
Hyewon Suh, Roberto Decarli, Emanuele Paolo Farina +15
The late stages of galaxy mergers - when two supermassive black holes (SMBHs) reach kiloparsec-scale separations - represent a critical phase for understanding SMBH growth, galaxy…
No evolution in the number density of little red dots from cosmic dawn to cosmic noon
Federica Loiacono, Roberto Gilli, Marco Mignoli +24
We present our search for little red dots (LRDs) in the "J1030 field", a region of the sky around the quasar SDSS J1030+0524, observed by the JWST EIGER program. Over 1…
Little Red and Blue Dots: AGN-excited narrow lines, Lyman- emission, and resemblance to standard quasars
Sophia Geris, Roberto Maiolino, Xihan Ji +35
We present an analysis of a sample of 36 Little Red and Blue Dots (LRDs and LBDs) at , identified by JWST in the GOODS fields. While both categories are selected to ha…
The WISSHFUL program: the highest redshift UFO discovered in a non-lensed QSO
G. Lanzuisi, L. Borrelli, E. Piconcelli +28
We present the first results from the WISSHFUL program, an XMM-Newton heritage program targeting luminous QSOs at Cosmic Noon. We report on recent simultaneous XMM-Newton and NuSTA…
Is XRISM/Resolve probing a "raining" absorber in Mrk 509?
M. Dadina, V. Missaglia, V. Braito +19
X-ray spectroscopy of AGN offers unique insights into the reprocessing of radiationand gas dynamics near SMBH. The Sey 1 galaxy Mrk 509 is an ideal laboratory for these studies sin…
Unveiling the dynamics of the ultra-fast outflow in IRAS 13224-3809 with X-ray spectroscopy
Pierpaolo Condò, Francesco Tombesi, Marco Laurenti +9
IRAS 13224-3809 is one of the most intensively studied narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies, with a rich literature reporting diverse and sometimes contrasting interpretations of its com…
Discovery of ultra-fast outflows with v in local bright active galactic nuclei
Laura Borrelli, Matteo Guainazzi, Giorgio Lanzuisi +5
Ultra-fast outflows (UFOs) are mildly relativistic (outflow velocity ) nuclear winds detected as blueshifted absorption lines from highly ionized, dense gas in the X-…
Supermassive Black Hole Winds in X-rays: SUBWAYS IV. Tracing Radio Emission and Unveiling the Role of Winds
E. Amenta, M. Brienza, G. Bruni +30
Most Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are Radio Quiet, with radio emission that may arise from star-formation activity, AGN-driven winds, weak jets, and coronal activity. Disentangling…
Supermassive Black Hole Winds in X-rays: SUBWAYS V. Properties of hot coronae in quasars at intermediate redshift
S. Peluso, G. Lanzuisi, A. Comastri +25
We present the X-ray analysis of coronal properties in a statistically representative sample of 23 mostly radio-quiet AGN from the SUBWAYS campaign (SUpermassive Black holes Winds…
Radio selection of heavily obscured AGN in the J1030 field: unraveling a missing Compton-thick population
Giovanni Mazzolari, Roberto Gilli, Marco Mignoli +21
We tested the effectiveness of radio selection to discover heavily obscured AGNs, particularly at high-z, and we measured their abundance for the first time from a radio perspectiv…
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…
