Investigating the origin of radio emission in candidate super-Eddington accreting black holes
Marie-Lou Gendron-Marsolais, Paola Marziani, Marco Berton +8
Recent works show that the radio power of quasars accreting at very high rates can reach surprisingly high values. These studies suggest that this radio emission might originate fr…
NOCTURNE. I. The radio spectrum of narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies
M. Berton, E. Järvelä, S. Chen +8
The origin of the radio emission in active galactic nuclei (AGN) is still debated. Multiple physical mechanisms can contribute to the spectrum at these frequencies, including relat…
Insights into jet-NLR energetics in PMN J0948+0022
B. Dalla Barba, L. Foschini, M. Berton +8
The analysis of the optical spectra of PMN J0948+0022 showed significant variations in the spectral lines that, when combined with the Fermi -ray light curve and radio observat…
Revised optical classification of a sample of gamma-ray emitting AGN with GTC and VLT
B. Dalla Barba, L. Foschini, M. Berton +10
We report the results of the optical follow-up of a sample of -ray-emitting active galactic nuclei (AGN). New high-quality optical spectra were obtained using Gran Telescopio C…
Interaction of the relativistic jet and the narrow-line region of PMN J0948+0022
B. Dalla Barba, M. Berton, L. Foschini +6
We have analyzed publicly available optical spectra of PMN J0948+0022 obtained with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, X-Shooter, and the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE). Initi…
An optical perspective on early-stage AGN with extreme radio flares
Luca Crepaldi, Marco Berton, Benedetta Dalla Barba +4
In the last decade of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) monitoring programs, the Metsähovi Radio Observatory detected multiple times seven powerful flaring narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLS1)…
