Where within the 3C 84 jet are -rays produced?

Georgios F. Paraschos, Ioannis Liodakis, Svetlana Jorstad +49

The location of -ray creation and emission within extra-galactic jets is a matter of active debate. One particularly well-suited source to pinpoint the location is the nearby, b…

Disc Winds From Accreting Systems in the 2040s

Noel Castro Segura, Virginia Cúneo, Francesco Tombesi +9

What does the temporal evolution of disc winds tell us about accreting systems and the accretion process? Studies of accretion-disc outflows across all mass scales, including accre…

Comparing observed properties of winds in low-luminosity active galactic nuclei with theoretical predictions

Fangzheng Shi, Feng Yuan, Francesco Tombesi +1

Theoretical and numerical simulations of black hole hot accretion flows have shown the ubiquitous existence of winds and predicted their properties such as velocity and mass flux.…

Repeating transients in galactic nuclei: confronting observations with theory

Petra Suková, Francesco Tombesi, Dheeraj R. Pasham +5

In the last few years, a mysterious new class of astrophysical objects has been uncovered. These are spatially coincident with the nuclei of external galaxies and show X-ray variat…

The impact of AGN outflows on the surface habitability of terrestrial planets in the Milky Way

A. Ambrifi, A. Balbi, M. Lingam +2

It is well-known that active galactic nuclei (AGN) are accompanied by winds and outflows, some of which may reach weakly relativistic speeds of about percent the speed of ligh…

The habitability of the Milky Way during the active phase of its central supermassive black hole

Amedeo Balbi, Francesco Tombesi

During the peak of their accretion phase, supermassive black holes in galactic cores are known to emit very high levels of ionizing radiation, becoming visible over intergalactic d…
