Directly tracking the re-brightening of a supermassive black hole accretion disk
R. Middei, E. Nardini, C. Done +12
Accretion onto supermassive black holes powers the most luminous persistent sources in the Universe, the so-called active galactic nuclei, whose emission is characterized by two di…
Tracking down the broadband polarimetric properties of PG 1553+113
Riccardo Middei, Svetlana G. Jorstad, Alan P. Marscher +78
We report on a nine-month monitoring campaign of the blazar PG 1553+113, relying on three observations carried out in 2025 with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) and su…
Ultra-thick warm absorbers: Enlarging the parameter space of AGN ionised outflows
R. Middei, E. Piconcelli, E. Nardini +9
The analysis of X-ray absorption features in active galactic nuclei (AGN) provides a wealth of information about the physical properties of the matter surrounding supermassive blac…
High Resolution (<100pc) Ionization Structures in the ISM of AGN ESO~137-G34
D. Å. Król, G. Fabbiano, M. Elvis +8
We present a detailed, spatially resolved { Veilleux \& Osterbrock (VO) diagram} analysis of ESO\,137-G034, a Compton-thick Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN), based on narrowband {\it…
