Fuelling Active Galactic Nuclei

open access: yes, 2007
We suggest that most nearby active galactic nuclei are fed by a series of small--scale, randomly--oriented accretion events. Outside a certain radius these events promote rapid star formation, while within it they fuel the supermassive black hole.

ON THE ORIGIN OF ULTRAVIOLET EMISSION AND THE ACCRETION MODEL OF LOW-LUMINOSITY ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGNs) are generally believed to be powered by an inner radiatively inefficient, advection-dominated accretion flow (ADAF), an outer truncated thin disk, and a jet.

The complex structure of low-luminosity active galactic nuclei: NGC 4579 [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2004
We have modelled the low-luminosity active galactic nucleus (AGN) NGC 4579 by explaining both the continuum and the line spectra observed with different apertures. It was found that the nuclear emission is dominated by an AGN such that the flux from the active centre (AC) is relatively low compared with that of the narrow emission-line region (NLR) of ...

Nakhlite Emplacement as Constrained by X‐Ray Computed Tomography and 3D Quantitative Textural and Petrofabric Analyses

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Nakhlites, clinopyroxene‐rich rocks, are the largest single‐origin suite of samples from Mars. Despite extensive study to discern their petrogenetic histories, nakhlite emplacement mechanisms and environments are not well‐constrained, and it is unknown whether they represent intrusive or extrusive igneous rocks, or a combination.

Fermi-LAT Detection of the Low-luminosity Radio Galaxy NGC 4278 during the LHAASO Campaign

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
We present a study of the high-energy properties of the compact symmetric object NGC 4278, recently associated with a TeV source by the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) collaboration.

Reverberation Mapping of High-z, High-luminosity Quasars

open access: yes, 2018
We present Reverberation Mapping results after monitoring a sample of 17 high-z, high-luminosity quasars for more than 10 years using photometric and spectroscopic capabilities.

On the Nature of Low‐Luminosity Narrow‐Line Active Galactic Nuclei [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2003
There is clear observational evidence that some narrow-line (type 2) active galactic nuclei (AGNs) have a hidden broad-line region (BLR) and are thus intrinsically broad-line (type 1) AGNs. Does this AGN unification apply for all type 2 AGNs? Indirect arguments suggest that some "true" type 2 AGNs, i.e., AGNs having no obscured BLR, do exist, but it is

First X-Ray Polarimetric View of a Low-luminosity Active Galactic Nucleus: The Case of NGC 2110

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGN) provide a unique view of Comptonization and nonthermal emission from accreting black holes in the low accretion rate regime.

JWST NIRCam Imaging of NGC 4258. I. Observation Overview

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Near-Infrared Camera imaging of the nearby Seyfert 1.9 galaxy NGC 4258, which hosts strong star formation regions as well as an anomalous jet-like radio structure that extends through a significant portion of ...

Compact Nuclei in Galaxies at Moderate Redshift:II. Their Nature and Implications for the AGN Luminosity Function

open access: yes, 1998
This study explores the space density and properties of active galaxies to z=0.8. We have investigated the frequency and nature of unresolved nuclei in galaxies at moderate redshift as indicators of nuclear activity such as Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN ...
