The first near-infrared high-resolution échelle spectroscopy of the outflow in NGC 4151. A study of the clouds covering the Eye of Sauron
Francesco Gabriele Saturni, Riccardo Middei, Hermine Landt +4
We present the first high-resolution near-infrared spectroscopy of the nucleus of the nearby, well-known Seyfert galaxy NGC 4151 (the "Eye of Sauron"). Past studies of this source…
XMM/HST monitoring of the ultra-soft highly accreting Narrow Line Seyfert 1 RBS 1332
R. Middei, S. Barnier, F. G. Saturni +10
Ultra-soft narrow line Seyfert 1 (US-NLSy) are a poorly observed class of active galactic nuclei characterized by significant flux changes and an extreme soft X-ray excess. This pe…
Capturing dual AGN activity and kiloparsec-scale outflows in IRAS 20210+1121
Francesco Gabriele Saturni, Giustina Vietri, Enrico Piconcelli +8
The most accepted scenario for the evolution of massive galaxies across cosmic time predicts a regulation based on the interplay between AGN feedback, which injects large amounts o…
X-ray obscuration from a variable ionized absorber in PG 1114+445
R. Serafinelli, V. Braito, P. Severgnini +9
Photoionized absorbers of outflowing gas are commonly found in the X-ray spectra of active galactic nuclei (AGN). While most of these absorbers are seldom significantly variable, s…
On self-gravitating strange dark matter halos around galaxies
Marco Merafina, Francesco G. Saturni, Catalina Curceanu +2
A new family of nonrelativistic, Newtonian, non-quantum equilibrium configurations describing galactic halos is introduced, by considering strange quark matter conglomerates with m…
Multiphase quasar-driven outflows in PG 1114+445. I. Entrained ultra-fast outflows
Roberto Serafinelli, Francesco Tombesi, Fausto Vagnetti +3
Substantial evidence in the last few decades suggests that outflows from supermassive black holes (SMBH) may play a significant role in the evolution of galaxies.Large-scale outflo…
"Zombie" or active? An alternative explanation to the properties of star-forming galaxies at high redshift
Francesco Gabriele Saturni, Mattia Mancini, Edwige Pezzulli +1
Star-forming galaxies at high redshift show anomalous values of infrared excess, which can be described only by extremizing the existing relations between the shape of their ultrav…
The rest-frame UV-to-optical spectroscopy of APM 08279+5255 - BAL classification and black hole mass estimates
F. G. Saturni, M. Bischetti, E. Piconcelli +9
We present the analysis of the rest-frame optical-to-UV spectrum of APM 08279+5255, a well-known lensed broad absorption line (BAL) quasar at . The spectroscopic data ar…
A multi-epoch spectroscopic study of the BAL quasar APM 08279+5255 II. Emission- and absorption-line variability time lags
F. G. Saturni, D. Trevese, F. Vagnetti +2
The study of high-redshift bright quasars is crucial to gather information about the history of galaxy assembly and evolution. Variability analyses can provide useful data on the p…
Extinction curve template for intrinsically reddened quasars
Tayyaba Zafar, Palle Møller, Darach Watson +6
We analyze the near-infrared to UV data of 16 quasars with redshifts ranging from 0.71 2.13 to investigate dust extinction properties. The sample presented in this work…
The High A(V) Quasar Survey: Reddened quasi-stellar objects selected from optical/near-infrared photometry - II
J. -K. Krogager, S. Geier, J. P. U. Fynbo +9
Quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) whose spectral energy distributions (SEDs) are reddened by dust either in their host galaxies or in intervening absorber galaxies are to a large degree…
CIV and CIII] reverberation mapping of the luminous quasar PG 1247+267
D. Trevese, M. Perna, F. Vagnetti +2
So far the masses of about 50 active galactic nuclei have been measured through the reverberation mapping technique (RM). Most measurements have been performed for objects of moder…
