Magnetic rigidity reveals the PeVatron acceleration region in SS 433
Jie Liao, Wancheng Xu, Lang Cui +10
PeVatrons are cosmic accelerators capable of driving particles to petaelectronvolt (PeV) energies. Recently, microquasar jets have emerged as compelling Galactic PeVatron candidate…
The SKA-VLBI Perspective on Radio-Quiet AGN
Francesca Panessa, Tao An, James Petley +21
The accretion-ejection mechanism in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) remains a central open problem in astrophysics, tied to the role of AGN feedback in galaxy formation and evolution.…
Dual AGN and Multiple SMBH Systems in the Era of SKAO
Q. D'Amato, L. Cui, R. Deane +23
We present a radio-oriented review of current strategies for the detection and characterization of dual active galactic nuclei (DAGN) and supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs),…
Detection of a parsec-scale, compact, and fading ejecta from an accreting massive black hole
Chao Li, Ning Chang, Jun Yang +2
Dwarf galaxies, characterized by their low luminosities and masses, are excellent candidates for searches for intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs), particularly when they show str…
Tracking the jet-like corona of black hole Swift J1727.8-1613 during a flare state through Type-C quasi-periodic oscillations
Jie Liao, Ning Chang, Lang Cui +10
Type-C quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in black hole X-ray transients typically manifest in the low-hard and hard-intermediate states. This study presents a detailed spectral an…
Proper Motion and Natal Kick in the Galactic Black Hole X-ray Binary AT2019wey
Lang Cui, Pengfei Jiang, Tao An +9
Understanding the formation mechanisms of stellar-mass black holes in X-ray binaries (BHXBs) remains a fundamental challenge in astrophysics. The natal kick velocities imparted dur…
