A new era for Dual AGN science with SHARP
P. Severgnini, C. Vignali, A. De Rosa +21
The search for and the characterization of ultra-compact dual active galactic nuclei (AGN) are among the hottest topics of current extragalactic astrophysics. These systems involve…
BlackHoleWeather -- Spin-coupled chaotic cold accretion across the meso scale: Variability and kinematics
Olmo Piana, Massimo Gaspari, Vieri Cammelli +10
Supermassive black hole (SMBH) spin records the vector history of accretion. In chaotic cold accretion (CCA), this history is set by clouds and filaments whose torques can add cohe…
BlackHoleWeather -- Chaotic cold accretion across the meso-scale: Morphology and thermodynamics
Filippo Barbani, Massimo Gaspari, Vieri Cammelli +12
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) self-regulate galaxies, groups, and clusters, yet the pathway transporting gas from halo scales to sub-pc radii remains debated. In hot stratified…
BlackHoleWeather -- Chaotic cold accretion across the meso-scale: Variability and kinematics
Filippo Barbani, Massimo Gaspari, Olmo Piana +12
Accretion onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in realistic halos is time-variable, governed by turbulence, cooling, and multiphase condensation. In chaotic cold accretion (CCA),…
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 ()…
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…
