Why are Quasiperiodic Eruptions only Found in Low-Mass Galaxies?

Andrew King

I consider the current sample of galaxy nuclei producing quasiperiodic eruptions (QPEs). If the quasiperiod results from the orbital motion of a star around the central black hole,…

Supermassive Black Hole Winds in X-rays: SUBWAYS. II. HST UV spectroscopy of winds at intermediate redshifts

M. Mehdipour, G. A. Kriss, M. Brusa +35

We present a UV spectroscopic study of ionized outflows in 21 active galactic nuclei (AGN), observed with the HST. The targets of the SUBWAYS sample were selected with the aim to p…

Supermassive Black Hole Winds in X-rays -- SUBWAYS. I. Ultra-fast outflows in QSOs beyond the local Universe

G. A. Matzeu, M. Brusa, G. Lanzuisi +48

We present a new X-ray spectroscopic study of luminous () active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at intermed…

Can the BZ mechanism power steady jets?

A. R. King, J. E. Pringle

We consider the Blandford-Znajek (BZ) mechanism for extracting black hole spin energy to drive astrophysical jets. Analyses of the BZ mechanism generally take no account of any ele…

NuSTAR and XMM-Newton Observations of the Hard X-Ray Spectrum of Centaurus A

F. Fuerst, C. Mueller, K. K. Madsen +28

We present simultaneous XMM-Newton and NuSTAR observations spanning 3-78 keV of the nearest radio galaxy, Centaurus A (Cen A). The accretion geometry around the central engine in C…

The End of the Black Hole Dark Ages, and Warm Absorbers

A. R. King, K. A. Pounds

We consider how the radiation pressure of an accreting supermassive hole (SMBH) affects the interstellar medium around it. Much of the gas originally surrounding the hole is swept…
