P Padovani, DM Alexander, RJ Assef… - The Astronomy and …, 2017 - Springer
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are energetic astrophysical sources powered by accretion onto
supermassive black holes in galaxies, and present unique observational signatures that …

Obscured active galactic nuclei

RC Hickox, DM Alexander - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 2018 - annualreviews.org
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are powered by the accretion of material onto a supermassive
black hole (SMBH) and are among the most luminous objects in the Universe. However, the …

AGN wind scaling relations and the co-evolution of black holes and galaxies

F Fiore, C Feruglio, F Shankar, M Bischetti… - Astronomy & …, 2017 - aanda.org
Context. Feedback from accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs) is often identified as

Revisiting the unified model of active galactic nuclei

H Netzer - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2015 - annualreviews.org
This review describes recent developments related to the unified model of active galactic
nuclei (AGNs). It focuses on new ideas about the origin and properties of the central …

Cold molecular outflows in the local Universe and their feedback effect on galaxies

A Fluetsch, R Maiolino, S Carniani… - Monthly Notices of …, 2019 - academic.oup.com
We study molecular outflows in a sample of 45 local galaxies, both star forming and active
galactic nucleus (AGN), primarily by using CO data from the Atacama Large Millimeter …

The quest for dual and binary supermassive black holes: A multi-messenger view

A De Rosa, C Vignali, T Bogdanović, PR Capelo… - New Astronomy …, 2019 - Elsevier
The quest for binary and dual supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at the dawn of the multi-
messenger era is compelling. Detecting dual active galactic nuclei (AGN)–active SMBHs at …

The coevolution of galaxies and supermassive black holes: insights from surveys of the contemporary universe

TM Heckman, PN Best - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 2014 - annualreviews.org

physics and phenomenology of the processes that link the formation and evolution of …

Massive molecular outflows and evidence for AGN feedback from CO observations

C Cicone, R Maiolino, E Sturm, J Graciá-Carpio… - Astronomy & …, 2014 - aanda.org
We study the properties of massive, galactic-scale outflows of molecular gas and investigate
their impact on galaxy evolution. We present new IRAM PdBI CO (1–0) observations of local …

A unified model for galactic discs: star formation, turbulence driving, and mass transport

MR Krumholz, B Burkhart, JC Forbes… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
We introduce a new model for the structure and evolution of the gas in galactic discs. In the
model the gas is in vertical pressure and energy balance. Star formation feedback injects …
