Ionized outflows from active galactic nuclei as the essential elements of feedback [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Outflows from active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are one of the fundamental mechanisms by which the central supermassive black hole interacts with its host galaxy. Detected in ≥50% of nearby AGNs, these outflows have been found to carry kinetic energy that is

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).

The many lives of active galactic nuclei: cooling flows, black holes and the luminosities and colour [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We simulate the growth of galaxies and their central supermassive black holes by implementing a suite of semi-analytic models on the output of the Millennium Run, a very large simulation of the concordance A cold dark matter cosmogony.

Investigation of Stellar Kinematics and Ionized Gas Outflows in Local (U)LIRGs

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We explore the properties of stellar kinematics and ionized gas in a sample of 1106 local (U)LIRGs from the AKARI telescope. We combine data from Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer and Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 13 to fit the spectral energy ...

Reverberation Measurements for 17 Quasars and the Size-Mass-Luminosity Relations in Active Galactic Nuclei [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Correlated variations in the line and continuum emission from active galactic nuclei (AGNs) can be used to determine the size and geometry of the broad emission-line regions (BLRs).

NuSTAR Observations of a Heavily X-Ray-obscured AGN in the Dwarf Galaxy J144013+024744

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present a multiwavelength analysis of the dwarf Seyfert 2 galaxy J144013+024744, a candidate obscured active galactic nucleus (AGN) thought to be powered by an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH, M _• ≈ 10 ^4 −10 ^6 M _⊙ ) of mass M _• ∼ 10 ^5.2 M _⊙ .

Relativistic Jets from Active Galactic Nuclei [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2018
The nuclei of most normal galaxies contain supermassive black holes, which can accrete gas through a disk and become active. These active galactic nuclei (AGNs) can form jets that are observed on scales from astronomical units to megaparsecs and from ...

The Fourth Catalog of Active Galactic Nuclei Detected by the Fermi Large Area Telescope [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2019
The fourth catalog of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) detected by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope Large Area Telescope (4LAC) between 2008 August 4 and 2016 August 2 contains objects located at high Galactic latitudes ( ).

Universal bolometric corrections for active galactic nuclei over seven luminosity decades [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2020
Context. The AGN bolometric correction is a key element for understanding black hole (BH) demographics and computing accurate BH accretion histories from AGN luminosities.

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 ...
