Recursive formalism computes scattering-order-resolved photon escape probabilities in slab Thomson media, yielding exact mean scattering numbers like ⟨N⟩=2τ and eigenmode limits for high orders, verified by Monte Carlo.
New JWST observations of Centaurus A detect H2 lines up to S(8) and map a warm molecular disk with a 20-pc cavity aligned to the jet, filamentary high-excitation structures, S-shaped kinematics, and an inward streamer, yielding a warm H2 mass of 5.6e5 solar masses heated by shocks.
Red quasars are intrinsically X-ray weak with low alpha_OX values, tracing a distinct evolutionary stage of suppressed black hole accretion relative to stellar mass growth.
New publicly available X-ray table models RXToPo and RXagn1 with realistic AGN geometries (torus, polar cone, disk, BLR) generated via RefleX and tested on NGC 424.
A lens model from Gaia DR3 and HST data combined with a Bayesian test on Chandra observations constrains the X-ray emission origin in lensed quasar J0659 to a 0.020 × 0.010 arcsec ellipse offset 0.014 arcsec from the optical source at 1σ.
Slim-disk self-shadowing plus accretion-rate-dependent BLR density enhancement explains the observed offsets of high-Eddington AGNs below the canonical R-L relation.
Fe Kα lines from accreting black holes are produced mostly outside 10 gravitational radii due to radial ionization gradients, allowing broad profiles without high spin.
Six years of UV/X-ray monitoring of ESO 511-G030 reveals a >10x UV rise from the accretion disk, tight disk-corona coupling above ~1% Eddington, and breakdown below, indicating an accretion-state transition.
Seyfert galaxy slab coronae show a nearly constant Compton y-parameter of 0.414, implying regulation by slab radiative equilibrium.
A population of AGN coronae with magnetization parameters spanning up to σ ~ 10 can reproduce the entire observed diffuse neutrino flux from TeV to PeV energies.
A new public relativistic transfer-function model reltrans for X-ray reverberation mapping that fits both spectra and lags to measure black-hole masses.
After applying IR-informed priors to X-ray NH posteriors in a sample of 811 high-z AGN, CTK sources comprise 17% of the population at 3<z<6 with no significant evolution.
Using ray-tracing simulations and simulation-based inference, the authors construct an AGN population that reproduces the cosmic X-ray background, number counts, and absorption properties, deriving an intrinsic Compton-thick fraction of 40±3%.
Five new HI 21-cm absorption detections in LERGs and HERGs at z<0.5 reveal disturbed gas kinematics with velocity offsets over 350 km/s and a 3% detection rate consistent with lower-redshift samples.
X-ray analysis of 94 FIR-selected AGNs at z=0.07-5 shows rising obscured fraction with redshift, soft excess in 10 sources, and a luminosity-dependent covering factor correlation supporting the receding torus model.
Black hole spin constraints for Cyg X-1 from XRISM Resolve data are strongly model-dependent, ranging from a*~0.99 with relxill to a*~0 with relxillCp or reflkerrD.
Seven blazars are posterior-predictively consistent with the L_hX-L_ν relation calibrated on six AGN, with redshift-partial and flux-permutation tests indicating residual correlation beyond distance bias.
Overview chapter summarizing traditional orientation-based and radiation-regulated unification models for AGN, including evolutionary aspects and changing-look AGN.
