BASS. XLVIII. [Ne V] λ3427 Emission in Powerful Nearby Active Galactic Nuclei

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We investigate the high-ionization, narrow [Ne V ] λ 3427 line emission in a sample of over 340 ultrahard X-ray (14–195 keV) selected active galactic nuclei (AGN) drawn from the BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey project.

Effects of superradiance in active galactic nuclei

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
ABSTRACT A supermassive black hole (SMBH) at the core of an active galactic nucleus (AGN) provides room for the elusive ultra-light scalar particles to be produced through a phenomenon called superradiance. This phenomenon produces a cloud of scalar particles around the black hole by draining its spin angular momentum.

BASS. LIII. The Eddington Ratio as the Primary Regulator of the Fraction of X-Ray Emission in Active Galactic Nuclei

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) emit radiation via accretion across the entire energy spectrum. While the standard disk and corona model can somewhat describe this emission, it fails to predict specific features such as the soft X-ray excess, the short-term

Active Galactic Nuclei

2021
Almost all galaxies host in their center a supermassive black hole of mass between a million and tens of billions solar masses. Supermassive black holes grow in symbiosis with their host galaxies across the Hubble time, occasionally accreting surround matter, giving rise to an Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN).

Active galactic nuclei

Reports on Progress in Physics, 1989
Recent observational and theoretical investigations of AGN are reviewed. The basic AGN characteristics (broad emission lines of abundant ions, X-ray emission, and a sharp starlike appearance) are summarized, and particular attention is given to the spectral classification of Seyfert galaxies, the AGN velocity fields and their measurement, low ...

The Masses of Active Galactic Nuclei

Vistas in Astronomy, 1988
The study of the variability of the X-ray radiation in AGNs on time scales of 102 to 105sec is of fundamental importance for understanding the nature of their central source. Recently Wandel & Mushotzky [1] determined the masses of AGNs from their X-ray variability assuming the emitting region of X-rays to be five Schwarzschild radii.
