Rapid growth in a dual AGN during a gas-rich merger at z~4.5
Hyewon Suh, Roberto Decarli, Emanuele Paolo Farina +15
The late stages of galaxy mergers - when two supermassive black holes (SMBHs) reach kiloparsec-scale separations - represent a critical phase for understanding SMBH growth, galaxy…
No evolution in the number density of little red dots from cosmic dawn to cosmic noon
Federica Loiacono, Roberto Gilli, Marco Mignoli +24
We present our search for little red dots (LRDs) in the "J1030 field", a region of the sky around the quasar SDSS J1030+0524, observed by the JWST EIGER program. Over 1…
Broadband multiwavelength properties of the archetypal blazar 3C 279 during the 2017 Event Horizon Telescope campaign
G. Principe, J. C. Algaba, E. Aviano +529
The archetypal blazar 3C 279 hosts a prominent relativistic jet and exhibits strong broadband variability across the electromagnetic spectrum. In April 2017, the Event Horizon Tele…
The hidden variability of the torus in local Active Galactic Nuclei: 20 years of Chandra, XMM-Newton, and NuSTAR observations
Vittoria Elvezia Gianolli, Nuria Torres-Alba, Stefano Marchesi +9
X-ray absorption variability in active galactic nuclei (AGN) provides key constraints on the structure and dynamics of the circumnuclear obscuring medium, the so-called torus. A fr…
Little Red and Blue Dots: AGN-excited narrow lines, Lyman- emission, and resemblance to standard quasars
Sophia Geris, Roberto Maiolino, Xihan Ji +35
We present an analysis of a sample of 36 Little Red and Blue Dots (LRDs and LBDs) at , identified by JWST in the GOODS fields. While both categories are selected to ha…
The WISSHFUL program: the highest redshift UFO discovered in a non-lensed QSO
G. Lanzuisi, L. Borrelli, E. Piconcelli +28
We present the first results from the WISSHFUL program, an XMM-Newton heritage program targeting luminous QSOs at Cosmic Noon. We report on recent simultaneous XMM-Newton and NuSTA…
Strong environmental AGN enhancement among DSFGs in z > 2 protoclusters
Monica Natalia Isla Llave, Fabio Vito, Alberto Traina +17
Galaxy protoclusters (PCs) at z > 2 are dense regions in which cold gas availability and elevated galaxy interaction rates trigger intense, often dust-obscured, star formation. The…
