The link between X-ray complexity and optical lines in NLS1s

Supersoft X-ray sources identified with Be binaries in the Magellanic Clouds
V. Cracco, M. Orio, S. Ciroi +3
We investigated four luminous supersoft X-ray sources (SSS) in the Magellanic Clouds suspected to have optical counterparts of Be spectral type. If the origin of the X-rays is in a…

S. Chen, M. Berton, G. La Mura +7
We present a new accurate catalog of narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s) in the southern hemisphere from the Six-degree Field Galaxy Survey (6dFGS) final data release, which is…
Models of emission line profiles and spectral energy distributions to characterize the multi-frequency properties of active galactic nuclei
Giovanni La Mura, Marco Berton, Sina Chen +7
The spectra of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) are often characterized by a wealth of emission lines with different profiles and intensity ratios that led to a complicated classifica…
Multi-frequency databases for AGN investigation - Results and perspectives
Giovanni La Mura, Marco Berton, Sina Chen +5
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) are characterized by emission of radiation over more than 10 orders of magnitude in frequency. Therefore, the execution of extensive surveys of the sk…

An orientation-based unification of young jetted AGN: the case of 3C 286
M. Berton, L. Foschini, A. Caccianiga +6
In recent years, the old paradigm according to which only high-mass black holes can launch powerful relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei (AGN) has begun to crumble. The disc…
Relativistic plasmas in AGN jets - From synchrotron radiation to -ray emission
Giovanni La Mura, Giovanni Busetto, Stefano Ciroi +5
Relativistic jets of plasma are a key ingredient of many types of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). Today we know that AGNs are powered by the accretion of inter stellar material into…
