HYPERION. Shedding light on the first luminous quasars: A correlation between UV disc winds and X-ray continuum

A Tortosa, L Zappacosta, E Piconcelli… - Astronomy & …, 2024 - aanda.org
One of the main open questions in the field of luminous (L bol> 10 47 erg s− 1) quasars
(QSOs) at z≳ 6 is the rapid formation (< 1 Gyr) of their supermassive black holes (SMBHs) …

SIROCCO: a publicly available Monte Carlo ionization and radiative transfer code for astrophysical outflows

JH Matthews, KS Long, C Knigge… - Monthly Notices of …, 2025 - academic.oup.com
Outflows are critical components of many astrophysical systems, including accreting
compact binaries and active galactic nuclei (AGN). These outflows can significantly affect a …

[O III] emission in z ≈ 2 quasars with and without Broad Absorption Lines

MJ Temple, AL Rankine, M Banerji… - Monthly Notices of …, 2024 - academic.oup.com
Understanding the links between different phases of outflows from active galactic nuclei is a

Time-dependent AGN disc winds–I. X-ray irradiation

S Dyda, SW Davis, D Proga - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2024 - academic.oup.com
We study active galactic nucleus (AGN) line-driven disc winds using time-dependent
radiation hydrodynamics. The key criterion for determining wind launching is the coupling …

A Self-consistent Treatment of the Line-driving Radiation Force for Active Galactic Nuclei Outflows: New Prescriptions for Simulations

AS Lattimer, SR Cranmer - The Astrophysical Journal, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
Flows driven by photons have been studied for almost a century, and a quantitative
description of the radiative forces on atoms and ions is important for understanding a wide …

Radio Scrutiny of the X-ray-Weak Tail of Low-Mass Active Galactic Nuclei: A Novel Signature of High-Eddington Accretion?

JD Paul, RM Plotkin, WN Brandt, CH Ellis… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
The supermassive black holes ($ M_ {\rm BH}\sim 10^{6} $$-$ $10^{10}~ M_\odot $) that
power luminous active galactic nuclei (AGNs), ie, quasars, generally show a correlation …

Red, hot, and very metal poor: extreme properties of a massive accreting black hole in the first 500 Myr

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has recently discovered a new population of
objects at high redshift referred to asLittle Red Dots'(LRDs). Their nature currently remains …

A Large Systematic Search for Close Supermassive Binary and Rapidly Recoiling Black Holes--IV. Ultraviolet spectroscopy

JC Runnoe, M Eracleous, T Bogdanović… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2025 - pierreauclair.org
Abstract We present Hubble Space Telescope ultraviolet (UV) of 13 quasars at z< 0.7, along
with contemporaneous optical spectra from ground-based telescopes. The targets were …

MH Naddaf - arXiv preprint arXiv:2412.18772, 2024 - arxiv.org
This paper presents a preliminary investigation into the influence of radial behavior of disk
outflow on the structure and dynamics of the broad line region (BLR) in active galactic nuclei …
