Distilling Graph Geometry: Knowledge Gap from GNNs to MLPs

Zhewei Chen, Hao Zhu, Jiaojiao Jiang +1

GNN-to-MLP distillation aims to retain the predictive accuracy of a message-passing teacher while deploying a graph-free MLP at inference. Existing methods mainly transfer node-wis…

Revealing the accretion disc structure in Changing State AGN: NGC1566

Huimei Wang, Chris Done, Riccardo Middei +1

NGC1566 is a low mass () Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) with unusual large amplitude variabilty in its accretion flow. In the optical it cycles between recu…

X-ray polarization of the Compton-thin Seyfert galaxy NGC 5506 with IXPE

Daniele Tagliacozzo, Alessandro Leonardo Lai, Andrea Gnarini +14

We report on the observation of the Compton-thin Seyfert galaxy NGC~5506 performed with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). The observation, with a net observing time of…

Common Excitation Patterns of Star Formation, Active Galactic Nuclei, and Shocks in Seyfert Galaxies

Peixin Zhu, Lisa J. Kewley, Dominika Ł. Król +6

The growth of galaxies and their central supermassive black holes is closely connected, yet the net effect of active galactic nuclei (AGN) feedback on host-galaxy star formation re…

Local Heavily Obscured Active Galaxies Observed With Chandra (I): Spectral Properties of the Nuclear and Extended X-ray Emission

R. Middei, G. Fabbiano, A. Trindade Falcão +3

The Chandra X-ray Observatory has revealed that kiloparsec-scale extended X-ray emission is commonly associated with heavily absorbed (/cm) Active Gala…

EXPO: a quantum leap in fast, wide-band X-ray polarimetry for astrophysics

Paolo Soffitta, Sebastien Guillot, Ian Hutchinson +137

The Enhanced X-ray Polarimetry Observatory (EXPO) is a mission concept proposed to ESA as an M8 candidate, with a prospective launch in 2041. Building on the scientific success of…
