Observations of a Possible Transient Magnetically Arrested Accretion State in a Nearby Quasar: OQ208

Brian Punsly, Cormac Reynolds, Paola Marziani +12

OQ208 is a nearby, partially obscured quasar (z=0.077) that is a young, bright, parsec scale radio source. We assemble archival and new high frequency VLBA and VLA observations and…

The X-ray weakness of Little Red Dots and JWST-selected AGN: comparison with local AGN in different accretion regimes

A. Tortosa, C. Ricci, P. Du +5

We investigate the origin of the observed X-ray weakness in high z LRDs and other JWST-selected broad line AGN by comparing their X-ray and optical properties with those of a diver…

Supermassive Black Holes with High Accretion Rates in Active Galactic Nuclei. XV. Reverberation Mapping of Mg II Emission Lines

Hua-Rui Bai, Pu Du, Chen Hu +25

As the 15th paper in a series reporting on a large reverberation mapping (RM) campaign of super-Eddington accreting massive black holes (SEAMBHs) in active galactic nuclei (AGNs),…

Little red dots as embryos of active galactic nuclei

Jian-Min Wang, Yi-Lin Wang, Yong-Jie Chen +7

As an unprecedented large population in the early universe, the JWST-discovered little red dots (LRDs) have garnered much attention for formation of massive black holes and galaxie…

Detection of unexpected leading delays in broad Hβ line reverberations in the quasar PHL 1092

Jian-Min Wang, Chen Hu, Yong-Jie Chen +12

Delayed reverberations of broad emission lines in response to optical continuum variations have been widely observed in active galactic nuclei (AGNs). They serve as a powerful tool…

Supermassive Black Holes with High Accretion Rates in Active Galactic Nuclei. XIV. Long-Duration High-Cadence Reverberation Mapping Results for 11 PG Quasars

Chen Hu, Zhu-Heng Yao, Yong-Jie Chen +20

We report the results of a long-duration high-cadence reverberation mapping campaign of a second batch of 11 PG quasars using the 2.2m telescope at the Calar Alto Observatory. This…
