NuSTAR Observation of the TeV-detected Radio Galaxy 3C 264: Core Emission and the Hot Accretion Flow Contribution

The Astrophysical Journal
3C 264 is one of the few FRI radio galaxies with detected TeV emission. It is a low-luminosity active galactic nucleus (LLAGN) and is generally associated with a radiatively inefficient accretion flow (RIAF).

The Quest for the Quark‐Gluon Plasma From the Perspective of Dynamical Models of Relativistic Heavy‐Ion Collisions

Astronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The physics of heavy‐ion collisions is one of the most exciting and challenging directions of science for the last four decades. On the theoretical side one deals with a non‐abelian field theory, while on the experimental side today's largest accelerators are needed to enable these studies.

Reconfinement and Loss of Stability in Jets from Active Galactic Nuclei [PDF]

Nature Astronomy volume 2, pages 167-171 (2018), 2018
Jets powered by active galactic nuclei appear impressively stable compared with their terrestrial and laboratory counterparts-they can be traced from their origin to distances exceeding their injection radius by up to a billion times. However, some less energetic jets get disrupted and lose their coherence on the scale of their host galaxy.

Near-Infrared Colours of Active Galactic Nuclei [PDF]

, 2009
We propose near-infrared colour selection criteria to extract Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) using the near-infrared Colour-Colour Diagram (CCD) and predict near-infrared colour evolution with respect to redshift.

The Curious Concept That Almost Nobody Seemed to Care About at First: Virtual Particles in the Post‐War Period**

Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte, EarlyView.
Abstract Short‐lived, unobservable, and not subject to the usual rules of conservation of energy and momentum, virtual particles—an integral part of the conceptual framework of quantum field theory (QFT)—exhibit a number of curious characteristics which, in recent decades, have in part fueled important discussions about their ontological status ...

The Merging Galaxy Cluster Environment Affects the Morphology of Radio Active Galactic Nuclei

The Astrophysical Journal
It has previously been found that the galaxy cluster environment can affect the fueling and evolution of active galactic nuclei (AGN). This work examines the effect of the merging cluster environment on the properties of radio AGN by comparing the radio ...

Does the Radiative Avalanche Fueling Work in Any Active Galactic Nuclei ? [PDF]

, 1997
Recently Umemura, Fukue, & Mineshige (1997) proposed the radiative avalanche fueling to active galactic nuclei; gas accretion is driven by radiation drag exerted by stellar radiation from circumnuclear starburst regions. This mechanism is also interesting in terms of starburst-AGN connections.

Changing-look active galactic nuclei

Nature Astronomy, 2023
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are known to show flux variability over all observable timescales and across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Over the past decade, a growing number of sources have been observed to show dramatic flux and spectral changes, both in the X-rays and in the optical/UV.

A Tight Correlation between Millimeter and X-Ray Emission in Accreting Massive Black Holes from <100 mas Resolution ALMA Observations

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Recent studies have proposed that the nuclear millimeter continuum emission observed in nearby active galactic nuclei (AGNs) could be created by the same population of electrons that gives rise to the X-ray emission that is ubiquitously observed in ...

Metal halide perovskite for room temperature gamma‐ray spectrum detection

Information &Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Integrating recent advancements in metal halide perovskite (MHP) for room temperature gamma‐ray spectroscopy, we provide a comprehensive overview of the methods for growing high‐quality MHP crystals, along with fundamental insights into the structure of gamma‐ray devices and the defect characteristics of MHPs.
