Wind Acceleration as a Driver of Detached Blueshifted Absorption in Quasar Disk Winds

Randall C. Dannen, Daniel Proga, Paola Rodríguez Hidalgo +4

Active galactic nuclei (AGN) unification models often emphasize the viewing angle, , but alone does not determine quasar properties. This is crucial for quasar outflows: UV…

Flux-Averaged Force Multipliers

Sergei Dyda, Randall C. Dannen, Shane W. Davis +2

We apply novel developments in photoionization modeling and multi-frequency radiation hydrodynamics to the study of line driven AGN disc winds. We use a flux-averaged force multipl…

AGN STORM 2. XI. Spectroscopic reverberation mapping of the hot dust in Mrk 817

Hermine Landt, Benjamin D. Boizelle, Michael S. Brotherton +41

The AGN Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping 2 (STORM 2) campaign targeted Mrk 817 with intensive multi-wavelength monitoring and found its soft X-ray emission to be s…

Time-Dependent AGN Disc Winds II -- Effects of Photoionization

Sergei Dyda, Randall C. Dannen, Timothy R. Kallman +2

We use a combination of radiation hydrodynamics (rad-HD) and photoionization modeling to study line-driven disc winds for a range of black hole masses. We refined previous models b…

Oscillatory Line-Driven Winds: The Role of Atmospheric Stratification

Joshua Key, Daniel Proga, Randall Dannen +2

Time-dependent numerical studies of line-driven winds using the Sobolev approximation have a history spanning over three decades. In many of these studies, the wind solutions displ…

AGN STORM 2: VIII. Investigating the Narrow Absorption Lines in Mrk 817 Using HST-COS Observations

Maryam Dehghanian, Nahum Arav, Gerard A. Kriss +39

We observed the Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk817 during an intensive multi-wavelength reverberation mapping campaign for 16 months. Here, we examine the behavior of narrow UV absorption lin…
