Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 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 ...

Active Galactic Nuclei Search [PDF]
Atoms, 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.

Fuelling active galactic nuclei [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2007 Abstract 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. We show that the events have a characteristic time-evolution.

The 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.

Obscured active galactic nuclei [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2001 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 the unified model.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The sampling strategy of the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) makes TESS light curves extremely valuable for investigating the high cadence optical variability of active galactic nuclei (AGN).

JETTED ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics: Conference Series, 2012 Most of the electromagnetic output of blazars (BL Lac objects and Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars) comes out in the γ–ray band, making the Large Area Telescope [0.1–100 GeV] onboard the Fermi satellite and the Cherenkov telescopes crucial for gather crucial data and thus to understand their physics.
