The Birth of a Relativistic Jet Following the Disruption of a Star by a Cosmological Black Hole
Dheeraj R. Pasham, Matteo Lucchini, Tanmoy Laskar +63
A black hole can launch a powerful relativistic jet after it tidally disrupts a star. If this jet fortuitously aligns with our line of sight, the overall brightness is Doppler boos…
The rise and fall of the iron-strong nuclear transient PS16dtm
T. Petrushevska, G. Leloudas, D. Ilic +30
Thanks to the advent of large-scale optical surveys, a diverse set of flares from the nuclear regions of galaxies has recently been discovered. These include the disruption of star…
Detection of faint broad emission lines in type 2 AGN: I. Near infrared observations and spectral fitting
F. Onori, F. La Franca, F. Ricci +8
We present medium resolution near infrared spectroscopic observations of 41 obscured and intermediate class AGN (type 2, 1.9 and 1.8; AGN2) with redshift 0.1, selected…
Novel calibrations of virial black hole mass estimators in active galaxies based on X-ray luminosity and optical/NIR emission lines
F. Ricci, F. La Franca, F. Onori +1
Accurately weigh the masses of SMBH in AGN is currently possible for only a small group of local and bright broad-line AGN through reverberation mapping (RM). Statistical demograph…
X-shooter reveals powerful outflows in z~1.5 X-ray selected obscured quasi stellar objects
M. Brusa, A. Bongiorno, G. Cresci +20
We present X-shooter at the Vewry Large Telescope observations of a sample of 10 luminous, X-ray obscured QSOs at z from the XMM-COSMOS survey, expected to be caught in th…
