Obscured Active Galactic Nuclei [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2000 The properties of the absorption in type 2, narrow line AGNs are reviewed by focusing on the X-ray indicators. I discuss the properties of the cold absorbing medium (the putative torus) and of the reprocessed components, as well as their implications for

Fuelling Active Galactic Nuclei [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2007 We suggest that most nearby active galactic nuclei are fed by a series of small--scale, randomly--oriented accretion events. Outside a certain radius these events promote rapid star formation, while within it they fuel the supermassive black hole.

Elusive Active Galactic Nuclei [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2003 A fraction of active galactic nuclei do not show the classical Seyfert-type signatures in their optical spectra, i.e. they are optically "elusive". X-ray observations are an optimal tool to identify this class of objects.

Heating Hot Atmospheres with Active Galactic Nuclei
Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2007 High resolution X-ray spectroscopy of the hot gas in galaxy clusters has shown that the gas is not cooling to low temperatures at the predicted rates of hundreds to thousands of solar masses per year.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1999 Active galactic nuclei are the most powerful, long-lived objects in the Universe. Recent data confirm the theoretical idea that the power source is accretion into a massive black hole. The common occurrence of obscuration and outflows probably means that the contribution of active galactic nuclei to the power density of the Universe has been ...

Evolution of Active Galactic Nuclei [PDF]
, 2013 [Abriged] Supermassive black holes (SMBH) lurk in the nuclei of most massive galaxies, perhaps in all of them. The tight observed scaling relations between SMBH masses and structural properties of their host spheroids likely indicate that the processes fostering the growth of both components are physically linked, despite the many orders of magnitude ...

Active galactic nuclei at z ~ 1.5: III. Accretion discs and black hole spin [PDF]
, 2016 This is the third paper in a series describing the spectroscopic properties of a sample of 39 AGN at $z \sim 1.5$, selected to cover a large range in black hole mass ($M_{BH}$) and Eddington ratio ($L/L_{Edd}$). In this paper, we continue the analysis of
