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…
The emergence of X-ray emission lines during relativistic radio-jet formation in the changing-look active galactic nucleus 1ES 1927+654
Dev R. Sadaula, Sibasish Laha, Eileen T. Meyer +27
We present results from a comprehensive multi-wavelength monitoring campaign of the changing-look active galactic nucleus 1ES 1927+654 during the onset and evolution of a relativis…
The SKA-VLBI Perspective on Radio-Quiet AGN
Francesca Panessa, Tao An, James Petley +21
The accretion-ejection mechanism in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) remains a central open problem in astrophysics, tied to the role of AGN feedback in galaxy formation and evolution.…
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 ()…
Persistence of the Millihertz X-ray Quasi-Periodic Oscillation in the Active Galactic Nucleus 1ES 1927+654
Megan Masterson, Erin Kara, William N. Alston +15
1ES 1927+654 is an extreme active galactic nucleus (AGN) that has defied our canonical expectations for how AGN appear across the electromagnetic spectrum and how they vary on shor…
VAR-PZ: Constraining the Photometric Redshifts of Quasars using Variability
S. Satheesh-Sheeba, R. J. Assef, T. Anguita +33
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory LSST is expected to discover tens of millions of new Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs). The survey's exceptional cadence and sensitivity will enable UV/op…
