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 …

AGN obscuration and the Unified Model

S Bianchi, R Maiolino, G Risaliti - Advances in Astronomy, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Unification Models of Active Galactic Nuclei postulate that all the observed differences
between type 1 and type 2 objects are due to orientation effects with respect to the line of …

A Merloni, A Bongiorno, M Brusa… - Monthly Notices of …, 2014 - academic.oup.com
We study the incidence of nuclear obscuration on a complete sample of 1310 active galactic
nuclei (AGN) selected on the basis of their rest-frame 2–10 keV X-ray flux from the XMM …

The evolution of massive black holes and their spins in their galactic hosts

E Barausse - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2012 - academic.oup.com
Future space-based gravitational-wave detectors, such as the Laser Interferometer Space

The evolution of active galactic nuclei across cosmic time: what is downsizing?

N Fanidakis, CM Baugh, AJ Benson… - Monthly Notices of …, 2012 - academic.oup.com
We use a coupled model of the formation and evolution of galaxies and black holes (BHs) to
study the evolution of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in a cold dark matter universe. The …

The sizes of quasar host galaxies in the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program

J Li, JD Silverman, X Ding, MA Strauss… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
The relationship between quasars and their host galaxies provides clues on how
supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and massive galaxies are jointly assembled. To …

Star formation in quasar hosts and the origin of radio emission in radio-quiet quasars

NL Zakamska, K Lampayan, A Petric… - Monthly Notices of …, 2016 - academic.oup.com
Radio emission from radio-quiet quasars may be due to star formation in the quasar host
galaxy, to a jet launched by the supermassive black hole, or to relativistic particles …

Simulations of AGN-driven galactic outflow morphology and content

R Tanner, KA Weaver - The Astronomical Journal, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Using a series of 3D relativistic hydrodynamical simulations of active galactic nuclei (AGN)

Deep silicate absorption features in Compton-thick active galactic nuclei predominantly arise due to dust in the host galaxy

AD Goulding, DM Alexander, FE Bauer… - The Astrophysical …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
We explore the origin of mid-infrared (mid-IR) dust extinction in all 20 nearby (z< 0.05) bona
