Discovery of X-ray polarization angle rotation in active galaxy Mrk 421

Kavli Affiliate: Grzegorz Madejski | First 5 Authors: Laura Di Gesu, Herman L. Marshall, Steven R. Ehlert, Dawoon E. Kim, Immacolata Donnarumma | Summary: The magnetic field conditions in astrophysical relativistic jets can be probed by multiwavelength polarimetry, which has been recently extended to X-rays. For example, one can track how the magnetic field changes […]

Small Region, Big Impact: Highly Anisotropic Lyman-continuum Escape from a Compact Starburst Region with Extreme Physical Properties

Kavli Affiliate: Michael D. Gladders | First 5 Authors: Keunho J. Kim, Matthew B. Bayliss, Jane R. Rigby, Michael D. Gladders, John Chisholm | Summary: Extreme, young stellar populations are considered the primary contributor to cosmic reionization. However, how Lyman-continuum (LyC) escapes these galaxies remains highly elusive because LyC escape can vary on sub-galactic scales […]

Clustering of Primordial Black Holes from QCD Axion Bubbles

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Kawasaki | First 5 Authors: Kentaro Kasai, Masahiro Kawasaki, Naoya Kitajima, Kai Murai, Shunsuke Neda | Summary: We study the clustering of primordial black holes (PBHs) and axion miniclusters produced in the model proposed to explain the LIGO/Virgo events or the seeds of the supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in arXiv:2006.13137. It is […]

Unveiling the small-scale jets in the rapidly growing supermassive black hole IZw1

Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Xiaolong Yang, Su Yao, Luigi C. Gallo, Jun Yang, Luis C. Ho | Summary: Accretion of black holes at near-Eddington or super-Eddington rates is the most powerful episode that drives black hole growth, and it may work in several types of objects. However, the physics of accretion […]

A small and vigorous black hole in the early Universe

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Roberto Maiolino, Jan Scholtz, Joris Witstok, Stefano Carniani, Francesco D’Eugenio | Summary: Multiple theories have been proposed to describe the formation of black hole seeds in the early Universe and to explain the emergence of very massive black holes observed in the first billion years after Big […]

Constraints on the ultra-fast outflows in the narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk 1044 from high-resolution time- and flux-resolved spectroscopy

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Yerong Xu, Ciro Pinto, Daniele Rogantini, Stefano Bianchi, Matteo Guainazzi | Summary: Ultra-fast outflows (UFOs) have been revealed in a large number of active galactic nuclei (AGN) and are regarded as promising candidates for AGN feedback on the host galaxy. The nature and launching mechanism of UFOs […]
