MAD UFOs: Magnetically Arrested Discs with persistent Ultra-Fast Outflows

Petra Suková, Michal Zajaček, Vladimír Karas

General-relativistic magneto-hydrodynamical (GRMHD) simulations of accreting black holes suggest that the accretion flows form toroidal structures embedded in a large scale compone…

Broad-line region in active galactic nuclei: Dusty or dustless?

Ashwani Pandey, Bozena Czerny, Swayamtrupta Panda +5

Context. Dust in active galactic nuclei is clearly present right outside the broad-line region (BLR) in the form of a dusty molecular torus. However, some models of the BLR predict…

The Evaporating Massive Embedded Stellar Cluster IRS 13 Close to Sgr A*. I. Detection of a rich population of dusty objects in the IRS 13 cluster

Florian Peißker, Michal Zajaček, Lauritz Thomkins +6

A detailed analysis of the Nuclear Stellar Cluster (NSC) concedes not only the existence of the Scluster with its fast-moving stars and the supermassive black hole (SMBH) Sgr A*. I…

X-ray eruptions every 22 days from the nucleus of a nearby galaxy

Muryel Guolo, Dheeraj R. Pasham, Michal Zajaček +15

Galactic nuclei showing recurrent phases of activity and quiescence have recently been discovered, with recurrence times as short as a few hours to a day -- known as quasi-periodic…

Precession-induced Variability in AGN Jets and OJ 287

Silke Britzen, Michal Zajaček, Gopal-Krishna +5

The combined study of the flaring of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) at radio wavelengths and pc-scale jet kinematics with Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) has led to the view…

Science with a small two-band UV-photometry mission III: Active Galactic Nuclei and nuclear transients

M. Zajaček, B. Czerny, V. K. Jaiswal +14

In this review (the third in the series focused on a small two-band UV-photometry mission), we assess possibilities for a small UV two-band photometry mission in studying accreting…

Science with a small two-band UV-photometry mission I: Mission description and follow-up observations of stellar transients

N. Werner, J. Řípa, C. Thöne +33

This is the first in a collection of three papers introducing the science with an ultra-violet (UV) space telescope on an approximately 130~kg small satellite with a moderately fas…

Spectral Energy Distribution profiles from AGN accretion disc in multi-gap setup

Marcel Štolc, Michal Zajaček, Bożena Czerny +1

Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) of the broad-band continuum emission from black-hole accretion discs can serve as a tool to measure parameters of the central body and constrain…

Radio jet precession in M81*

S. D. von Fellenberg, M. Janssen, J. Davelaar +5

We report four novel position angle measurements of the core region of M81* at 5GHz and 8GHz, which confirm the presence of sinusoidal jet precession of the M81 jet region as sugge…

X3: a high-mass Young Stellar Object close to the supermassive black hole Sgr~A*

Florian Peißker, Michal Zajacek, Nadeen B. Sabha +10

To date, the proposed observation of Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) in the Galactic center (GC) still raises the question where and how these objects could have formed due to the vio…

Expectations for time-delay measurements in active galactic nuclei with the Vera Rubin Observatory

Bozena Czerny, Swayamtrupta Panda, Raj Prince +10

The Vera Rubin Observatory will provide an unprecedented set of time-dependent observations of the sky. The planned Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) operating for 10 years wi…
