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.

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

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 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.

Obscured Active Galactic Nuclei [PDF]
Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2018 Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are powered by the accretion of material onto a supermassive black hole (SMBH) and are among the most luminous objects in the Universe.

Reionization with galaxies and active galactic nuclei [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 In this work we investigate the properties of the sources that reionized the intergalactic medium (IGM) in the high-redshift Universe. Using a semi-analytical model aimed at reproducing galaxies and black holes in the first ∼1.5 Gyr of the Universe, we

Flux States of Active Galactic Nuclei [PDF]
Galaxies, 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.

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 ...
