PEARLS: Discovery of Point-source Features within Galaxies in the North Ecliptic Pole Time Domain Field

The Astrophysical Journal
The first public 0.9–4.4 μ m NIRCam images of the North Ecliptic Pole Time Domain Field uncovered galaxies displaying point-source features in their cores as seen in the longer-wavelength filters. We visually identified a sample of 66 galaxies (∼1 galaxy

Mid-infrared Variability in Nearby Galaxies from the MaNGA Sample

The Astrophysical Journal
We use mid-infrared variability in galaxies to search for active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the local universe. We use a sample of 10,220 galaxies from the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory survey, part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey ...

Active Galactic Nuclei in polarized light

Open Astronomy, 2019
Due to the compactness active galactic nuclei (AGN) are still unresolved with optical observations. However, structure and physical conditions of the matter in their central parts are especially important to study the processes of the matter accretion to

The physics of galactic winds driven by active galactic nuclei

, 2012
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) drive fast winds in the interstellar medium of their host galaxies. It is commonly assumed that the high ambient densities and intense radiation fields in galactic nuclei imply short cooling times, thus making the outflows ...

Black Holes in Galactic Nuclei: the Promise and the Facts [PDF]

arXiv, 2002
It has long been suspected that Active Galactic Nuclei are powered by accretion of matter onto massive black holes and this belief implies their presence in the nuclei of most nearby galaxies as "relics" of past activity. Just a few years ago this was considered a paradigm but, recently, new ground-based and Hubble Space Telescope observations are ...

Accretion Flows in X--Ray Binaries and Active Galactic Nuclei [PDF]

arXiv, 2001
Hard X-ray emission is ubiquitous in accreting black holes, both in Galactic binary systems and in Active Galactic Nuclei. I review the different spectra which can be seen from these systems, and possible ways of producing this emission. X-ray reflection should give an observational test of these scenarios, but we need better models before this can ...

On the Properties of X-Ray Corona in Seyfert 1 Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal
We carried out a uniform and systematic analysis of a sample of 112 nearby bright Seyfert 1 type active galactic nuclei, the observations of which were carried out by the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array between 2013 August and 2022 May.

Infrared spectroscopic diagnostics for Active Galactic Nuclei

, 2007
Infrared spectroscopy in the mid- and far-infrared provides powerful diagnostics for studying the emission regions in active galaxies. The large variety of ionic fine structure lines can probe gas conditions in a variety of physical conditions, from ...

Archaeology, Epigraphy and Skyscape: Keys to Understanding Dadanite and Lihyanite Conception of Time

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dadan, the capital of the kingdom of Dadan and, later on, of Lihyan, was an important trading hub and place of worship in North‐West Arabia during the first millennium BCE. Located in the AlUla valley (Saudi Arabia), with naturally available fresh water, fertile soil and relative ease of travel through it, people gathered there for trade ...
