Elusive active galactic nuclei [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly 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.

Fuelling active galactic nuclei [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly 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.

Active galactic nuclei [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings 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 ...

Narrow Fe–Kα Reverberation Mapping Unveils the Deactivated Broad-line Region in a Changing-look Active Galactic Nucleus

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
“Changing-look active galactic nuclei” (CLAGNs) are known to change their apparent types between types 1 and 2, usually accompanied by a drastic change in their luminosity on timescales of years.

Evolution of Active Galactic Nuclei [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

The Lively Accretion Disk in NGC 2992. III. Tentative Evidence of Rapid Ultrafast Outflow Variability

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We report on the 2019 XMM-Newton+NuSTAR monitoring campaign of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 2992, observed at one of its highest flux levels in the X-rays.

Active Galactic Nuclei Search

open access: yesAtoms, 2017
We present the first results of medium-band photometric observations on the 1m Schmidt Telescope of Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory (Armenia). The object sample was created in the SA68 field.
