Active galactic nuclei. [PDF]

open access: yesProc 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]

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.

Flux States of Active Galactic Nuclei [PDF]

open access: yesGalaxies, 2019
Blazars are known to show variability on time scales from minutes to years covering a wide range of flux states. Studying the flux distribution of a source allows for various insights.

Fuelling active galactic nuclei [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly 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.

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.

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.

The Rapid Optical Variability of the Nearby Radio-loud AGN Pictor A: Introducing the Quaver Pipeline for AGN Science with TESS

open access: yesThe 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).

Active Galactic Nuclei

open access: yes, 2022
All galaxies host a super-massive black hole in their center. These black holes grow their mass in symbiosis with their host galaxy and moderate their star formation. When matter is driven towards the nucleus, an accretion disk is formed to transfer angular momentum and considerable energy is released when the material falls into the black hole: this ...
