A magnetically-supported disk-corona model for Changing-Look AGN transitions

Marios Kouzis, Agata Różańska, Debora Lančová +2

Changing-Look Active Galactic Nuclei (CLAGN) undergo dramatic spectral and luminosity transitions on timescales of months to a few years -- orders of magnitude shorter than the vis…

Radiation pressure instability: from heart-beat states in black hole binary systems to Quasars and Changing-Look AGN

Agnieszka Janiuk, Bozena Czerny, Pulkit Ojha +2

Radiation-pressure instability was identified soon after the seminal classical accretion disk models of Shakura-Sunyaev and Novikov-Thorne, yet its full implications remain an acti…

Unveiling Energy Pathways in AGN Accretion Flows with the Warm Corona Model for the Soft Excess

D. R. Ballantyne, V. Sudhakar, D. Fairfax +9

The soft excess in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) may arise through a combination of relativistic reflection and the effects of a warm corona at the surface of the accretion disc. D…

Magnetically arrested disks in FR I radio galaxies

Han He, Bei You, Ning Jiang +5

A sample of 17 FR I radio galaxies constructed from the 3CR catalog, which is characterized by edge-darkened radio structures, is studied. The optical core luminosities derived fro…

Observations of a black hole X-ray binary indicate formation of a magnetically arrested disk

Bei You, Xinwu Cao, Zhen Yan +8

Accretion of material onto a black hole drags any magnetic fields present inwards, increasing their strength. Theory predicts that sufficiently strong magnetic fields can halt the…

BAL effect in quasars due to source orientation

M. Sniegowska, M. H. Naddaf, M. L. Martinez-Aldama +3

We investigated a scenario where the presence of a broad absorption line (BAL) feature in quasars (QSOs) is contingent upon the line of sight being situated within an outflow cone…
