X-ray fluorescence from super-Eddington accreting black holes
Lars Lund Thomsen, Jane Lixin Dai, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz +2
X-ray reverberation has proven to be a powerful tool capable of probing the innermost region of accretion disks around compact objects. Current theoretical effort generally assumes…
1ES 1927+654: An AGN Caught Changing Look on a Timescale of Months
Benny Trakhtenbrot, Iair Arcavi, Chelsea L. MacLeod +21
We study the sudden optical and ultraviolet (UV) brightening of 1ES 1927+654, which until now was known as a narrow-line active galactic nucleus (AGN). 1ES 1927+654 was part of the…
A new class of flares from accreting supermassive black holes
Benny Trakhtenbrot, Iair Arcavi, Claudio Ricci +26
Accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs) can exhibit variable emission across the electromagnetic spectrum and over a broad range of timescales. The variability of active galacti…
