Gas Accretion from a Neighbouring Galaxy Fuels the Low-luminosity Active Galactic Nucleus in NGC 4278

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
How a seemingly “dead” host galaxy provides fuel for its active galactic nucleus (AGN) remains an unresolved problem. Using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), we present a new high-sensitivity atomic-hydrogen (H i ...

Radio Emission from High-redshift Active Galactic Nuclei in the JADES and CEERS Surveys

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Recent calculations indicate that radio emission from quasars at z ∼ 6–7 could be detected at much earlier stages of evolution, at z ∼ 14–15, by the Next-Generation Very Large Array (ngVLA) and the Square Kilometer Array (SKA).

Strongly Magnetized Accretion with Low Angular Momentum Produces a Weak Jet

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We study the spherical accretion of magnetized plasma with low angular momentum onto a supermassive black hole, utilizing global general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations.

The optical luminosity function of quasars and low-luminosity active galactic nuclei

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 1987
The optical luminosity function derived from quasars with M(B) less than -23 is extended to include the nuclear luminosities of Seyfert 1 galaxies. The model is fitted to the (total) luminosity data for active galaxies from a complete flux-limited survey.

Ensemble Variability Properties of Active Galactic Nuclei in the SDSS DR17

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present the results from a study of ∼9600 broadline-selected active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with host galaxies detected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 17.

Continuum Reverberation in Active Galactic Nuclei Disks Only with Sufficient X-Ray Luminosity and Low Albedo

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Disk continuum reverberation mapping is one of the primary ways we learn about active galactic nuclei (AGN) accretion disks. Reverberation mapping assumes that time-varying X-rays incident on the accretion disk drive variability in UV–optical light ...

A CIGALE module tailored (not only) for low-luminosity active galactic nuclei

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
The spectral energy distribution (SED) of low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGN) presents unique challenges as the emission from these objects is comparable to the radiation from their host galaxy and the accretion physics involved is particularly complex.

Observational Evidence for Hot Wind Impact on Parsec Scales in Low-luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Supermassive black holes in galaxies spend the majority of their lifetime in the low-luminosity regime, powered by hot accretion flow. Strong winds launched from the hot accretion flow have the potential to play an important role in active galactic ...

ReveaLLAGN 1: JWST Emission-line Spectra Reveal Low-luminosity Active Galactic Nucleus with Ultraviolet-deficient Spectral Energy Distributions and Warm Molecular Gas

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present near- and mid-infrared spectra of eight low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGN), spanning nearly 4 orders of magnitude in black hole mass and Eddington ratio, obtained with JWST/NIRSpec and MIRI as part of the ReveaLLAGN program, along ...

Multiwavelength Emission from Jets and Magnetically Arrested Disks in Nearby Radio Galaxies: Application to M87

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Radio galaxies are a subclass of active galactic nuclei that drive relativistic jets from their center and are observed in radio to very-high-energy gamma rays. The emission mechanisms and regions are still unknown.
