A Clean Sightline to Quiescence: Multiwavelength Observations of the High Galactic Latitude Black Hole X-ray Binary Swift J1357.2-0933
Richard M. Plotkin, Elena Gallo, Peter G. Jonker +9
We present coordinated multiwavelength observations of the high Galactic latitude (b=+50 deg) black hole X-ray binary (XRB) J1357.2-0933 in quiescence. Our broadband spectrum inclu…
A ~50,000 solar mass black hole in the nucleus of RGG 118
Vivienne Baldassare, Amy Reines, Elena Gallo +1
Scaling relations between black hole (BH) masses and their host galaxy properties have been studied extensively over the last two decades, and point towards co-evolution of central…
CMB quenching of high-redshift radio-loud AGNs
G. Ghisellini, F. Haardt, B. Ciardi +4
The very existence of more than a dozen of high-redshift (z>4) blazars indicates that a much larger population of misaligned powerful jetted AGN was already in place when the Unive…
Detection of Rest-frame Optical Lines from X-shooter Spectroscopy of Weak Emission Line Quasars
Richard M. Plotkin, Ohad Shemmer, Benny Trakhtenbrot +10
Over the past 15 years, examples of exotic radio-quiet quasars with intrinsically weak or absent broad emission line regions (BELRs) have emerged from large-scale spectroscopic sky…
An X-ray Selected Sample of Candidate Black Holes in Dwarf Galaxies
Sean Lemons, Amy Reines, Richard Plotkin +2
We present a sample of hard X-ray selected candidate black holes (BHs) in 19 dwarf galaxies. BH candidates are identified by cross-matching a parent sample of ~44,000 local dwarf g…
Incoherent transient radio emission from stellar-mass compact objects in the SKA era
S. Corbel, J. C. A. Miller-Jones, R. P. Fender +10
The universal link between the processes of accretion and ejection leads to the formation of jets and outflows around accreting compact objects. Incoherent synchrotron emission fro…
