Extreme Variability Reveals How the Eddington Ratio Regulates Coronal Power in Active Galactic Nuclei
Arghajit Jana, Claudio Ricci, Franz E. Bauer +13
The bolometric luminosity () of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is a key tracer of accretion physics, but its direct determination is often hindered by limited spectral…
BASS LV. Connecting X-ray variability with AGN physical properties and a new path to Cosmological distances
Matilde Signorini, Federica Ricci, Alessia Tortosa +18
X-ray variability is a well-established characteristic of active galactic nuclei (AGN), known to correlate inversely with both the supermassive black hole mass and luminosity, alth…
Resolved UV-Optical HST Imaging and Spectral Energy Distribution Modeling of Nearby BAT Active Galactic Nuclei
Connor Auge, Michael Koss, Kriti K. Gupta +17
We use high-resolution UV-to-optical imaging from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to construct spatially resolved spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for seven nearby ()…
Temporal Variation of the Coronal Radius Parameter in a Jetted Tidal Disruption Event: Swift J1644+57
Arka Chatterjee, Kimitake Hayasaki, Prantik Nandi +5
Tidal Disruption Events are exotic astrophysical phenomena where matter from a star or the interstellar medium is captured by a supermassive black hole. The process liberates enorm…
Multi-wavelength properties of changing-state active galactic nuclei: I. the evolution of soft excess and X-ray continuum
Arghajit Jana, Claudio Ricci, Alessia Tortosa +11
Changing-state active galactic nuclei (CSAGNs) exhibit rapid variability, with mass accretion rates that can change by several orders of magnitude in a few years. This provides us…
The Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS) Community Science Book
Michael Koss, Nafisa Aftab, Steven W. Allen +395
The AXIS Community Science Book represents the collective effort of 592 scientists worldwide to define the transformative science enabled by the Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (A…
