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…
Constraining the Physical Properties of Quadruply Lensed Quasars using Optical-to-X-Ray Data
Kriti Kamal Gupta, Dominique Sluse, Maarten Baes +5
Gravitational lensing of luminous active galactic nuclei (AGN; or quasars) can be used as a natural telescope to zoom in on their inner structures. With more and more lensed AGN be…
The Millimeter/X-ray Relation in Rapidly Accreting Supermassive Black Holes at
Sophie M. Venselaar, Claudio Ricci, Santiago Del Palacio +12
A tight correlation between nuclear millimeter and X-ray emission has recently been found in nearby () and low-Eddington ratio () radio-quiet Active G…
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 ()…
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…
Insights for Early Massive Black Hole Growth from JWST Detection of the [Ne v] λ3427 Emission Line
Benny Trakhtenbrot, Claudio Ricci, Ezequiel Treister +7
We use the narrow [Ne v] 3427 emission line detected in the recently published JWST spectra of two galaxies, at z = 6.9 and 5.6, to study the key properties of the active galac…
