Direct SMBH Formation Driven by Runaway Stellar Collisions in Globally Unstable Stellar Systems

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The fueling problem addresses the ultimate fate of the reservoirs of gas and stars driven into the deepest gravitational potential wells of galaxies, thus it may contain the Universe's densest concentrations of gas and stars. This raises a key question: does the infalling material collapse directly into a supermassive black hole, or can it ...

OBSERVATIONAL EVIDENCE FOR ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI FEEDBACK AT THE PARSEC SCALE

open access: yes, 2011
In a hot accretion flow, the radiation from the innermost region of the flow propagates outward and heats the electrons at large radii via Compton scattering.

Shocks, Winds, and a Torus: the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI) Resolves the Active Nucleus of NGC 4151

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present mid-infrared (MIR) observations of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 4151 using the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI). We took open-loop Fizeau images with 66–104 mas (5.8–9.1 pc) resolution in the N -band (at 8.7 and 10.5  μ m), using ...

Talin1 Adhesion Morphology and Colocalization With Tensin3 Are Largely Unaffected by Polyacrylamide Substrate Stiffness

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cells sense the stiffness of their extracellular matrix (ECM) and adapt their behavior accordingly. We investigated how ECM stiffness affects the spatial organization of talin1, a key mechanosensitive focal adhesion protein. Using polyacrylamide (PA) hydrogels with tunable stiffnesses (0.2–188 kPa), we analyzed cell morphology, migration ...

A UV to X-Ray View of Soft Excess in Type 1 Active Galactic Nuclei. I. Sample Selection and Spectral Profile

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
A core sample of 59 unobscured type 1 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with simultaneous XMM-Newton X-ray and UV observations is compiled from the archives to probe the nature of soft X-ray excess (SE).

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 ...

Sustainability Assessment of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises: A Systematic Review and Hybrid Architecture for Credible, Salient, and Legitimate Knowledge Governance

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainability assessment advances corporate social responsibility toward inclusive development. Widely recognized approaches prove inadequate for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), resulting in fragmented proliferation that hinders cumulative knowledge.

Science of active galactic nuclei with the GTC and CanariCam [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
CanariCam is the facility mid-infrared (MIR) instrument for the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC), a 10.4m telescope at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos on La Palma. One of the science drivers for CanariCam is the study of active galactic nuclei (

The Halo Occupation Distribution Modeling of X-Ray-selected Active Galactic Nuclei at 0.6 < z < 2.6 in the COSMOS Field

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We conduct precise measurements of active galactic nucleus (AGN) clustering at z ∼ 1 and z ∼ 2 by measuring the two-point cross-correlation function (CCF) between galaxies and X-ray-selected AGNs, and the two-point autocorrelation function (ACF) of ...

Ultrafast Transitions in X‐Ray Irradiated Solids

open access: yesContributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this review, we present current developments on modeling ultrafast transitions in solids triggered by intense, atto‐ to femtosecond pulses from X‐ray free electron lasers. This specific irradiation regime requires dedicated simulation tools based on theoretical and computational methods, involving the elements of classical and quantum ...
