Quasars as Standard Candles V. Evaluation of a 0.06 dex intrinsic dispersion in the LX-LUV relation
Matilde Signorini, Guido Risaliti, Elisabeta Lusso +4
A characteristic feature of quasars is the observed non-linear relationship between their monochromatic luminosities at rest-frame 2500 Å and 2 keV. This relationship is evident ac…
The High Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P): Bringing the Cosmic X-ray Background into Focus
Francesca Civano, Xiurui Zhao, Peter Boorman +29
Since the discovery of the cosmic X-ray background (CXB), astronomers have strived to understand the accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs) contributing to its peak in the 10-4…
The High Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P): The Future of Hard X-ray Dual AGN Science
Ryan W. Pfeifle, Peter G. Boorman, Kimberly A. Weaver +15
A fundamental goal of modern-day astrophysics is to understand the connection between supermassive black hole (SMBH) growth and galaxy evolution. Merging galaxies offer one of the…
The High Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P): The Circum-nuclear Environment of Growing Supermassive Black Holes
P. G. Boorman, N. Torres-Albà, A. Annuar +32
Ever since the discovery of the first Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), substantial observational and theoretical effort has been invested into understanding how massive black holes ha…
The High Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P): Constraining Supermassive Black Hole Growth with Population Spin Measurements
J. M. Piotrowska, J. A. García, D. J. Walton +24
Constraining the primary growth channel of supermassive black holes (SMBH) remains one the most actively debated questions in the context of cosmological structure formation. Owing…
The High Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P): Probing the physics of the X-ray corona in active galactic nuclei
E. Kammoun, A. M. Lohfink, M. Masterson +28
The hard X-ray emission in active galactic nuclei (AGN) and black hole X-ray binaries is thought to be produced by a hot cloud of electrons referred to as the corona. This emission…
