BASS. XLIII: Optical, UV, and X-ray emission properties of unobscured Swift/BAT active galactic nuclei

Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Kriti K. Gupta, Claudio Ricci, Matthew J. Temple, Alessia Tortosa, Michael J. Koss | Summary: We present one of the largest multiwavelength studies of simultaneous optical-to-X-ray spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of unobscured active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the local Universe. Using a representative sample of hard-X-ray-selected AGN […]

The Faraday rotation measure of the M87 jet at 3.5mm with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Sijia Peng, Ru-Sen Lu, Ciriaco Goddi, Thomas P. Krichbaum, Zhiyuan Li | Summary: Faraday rotation is an important probe of the magnetic fields and magnetized plasma around active galactic nuclei (AGN) jets. We present a Faraday rotation measure image of the M87 jet between 85.2 GHz and […]

Vetting quark-star models with gravitational waves in the hierarchical Bayesian framework

Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Ziming Wang, Yong Gao, Dicong Liang, Junjie Zhao, Lijing Shao | Summary: The recent discovery of gravitational waves (GWs) has opened a new avenue for investigating the equation of state (EOS) of dense matter in compact stars, which is an outstanding problem in astronomy and nuclear physics. […]
