A XRISM view of the iron line complex in NGC 1068: Rethinking the prototypical Compton-thick AGN
S. Bianchi, B. Vander Meulen, E. Bertola +32
We analyze a XRISM/Resolve observation of NGC1068, focusing on the Fe K and Fe K fluorescent lines and on the Fe XXV and Fe XXVI emission complexes. Line centroid energies, i…
Chasing Gravitational Waves with the Cherenkov Telescope Array
Jarred Gershon Green, Alessandro Carosi, Lara Nava +563
The detection of gravitational waves from a binary neutron star merger by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo (GW170817), along with the discovery of the electromagnetic counterparts…
Variability studies of active galactic nuclei from the long-term monitoring program with the Cherenkov Telescope Array
Guillaume Grolleron, Josefa Becerra González, Jonathan Biteau +13
Blazars are active galactic nuclei (AGN) with a relativistic jet oriented toward the observer. This jet is composed of accelerated particles which can display emission over the ent…
Dark matter searches in dwarf spheroidal galaxies with the Cherenkov Telescope Array
Francesco Gabriele Saturni, Michele Doro, Aldo Morselli +1
Dark matter (DM) is one of the major components in the Universe. However, at present its existence is still only inferred through indirect astronomical observations. DM particles c…
Minute-timescale variability in the X-ray emission of the highest redshift blazar
Alberto Moretti, Gabriele Ghisellini, Alessandro Caccianiga +9
We report on two Chandra observations of the quasar PSO J0309+27, the most distant blazar observed so far (z=6.1), performed eight months apart, in March and November 2020. Previou…
Unveiling sub-parsec supermassive black hole binary candidates in active galactic nuclei
Roberto Serafinelli, Paola Severgnini, Valentina Braito +11
Elusive supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) are thought to be the penultimate stage of galaxy mergers, preceding a final coalescence phase. SMBHBs are sources of continuous g…
