AGN X-ray coronae at high luminosity: A broadband study of RBS 229 and PG 1407+265

Alessandro Leonardo Lai, Stefano Bianchi, Andrea Marinucci +8

Context. The X-ray emission of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is commonly interpreted as arising from Comptonisation in a hot corona above the accretion disc. A prominent soft X-ray…

The WISSHFUL program: the highest redshift UFO discovered in a non-lensed QSO

G. Lanzuisi, L. Borrelli, E. Piconcelli +28

We present the first results from the WISSHFUL program, an XMM-Newton heritage program targeting luminous QSOs at Cosmic Noon. We report on recent simultaneous XMM-Newton and NuSTA…

Directly tracking the re-brightening of a supermassive black hole accretion disk

R. Middei, E. Nardini, C. Done +12

Accretion onto supermassive black holes powers the most luminous persistent sources in the Universe, the so-called active galactic nuclei, whose emission is characterized by two di…

The first IXPE view of the eclipsing ADC source 4U 1822-37

A. Anitra, A. Gnarini, T. Di Salvo +17

Accretion-disc corona sources are high-inclination low-mass X-ray binaries in which the innermost regions are hidden and the observed X-ray emission is dominated by radiation scatt…

Magnetic Field Properties inside the Jet of Mrk 421: Multiwavelength Polarimetry Including the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer

Dawoon E. Kim, Laura Di Gesu, Ioannis Liodakis +133

We conducted a polarimetry campaign from radio to X-ray wavelengths of the high-synchrotron-peak (HSP) blazar Mrk 421, including Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) measureme…
