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.
XRISM/Resolve data on Mrk 509 show a tentative 3.6-sigma infalling absorber at 11000 km/s located within thousands of gravitational radii, interpreted as raining clumps from a failed wind.
The mHz QPO in 1ES 1927+654 has persisted and stabilized at ~2.5 mHz with stable soft lags, no strong harmonic, and repeatable large-amplitude flux patterns, also seen in NuSTAR.
Using simultaneous modeling of continuum lag-spectrum and broadband SED of Fairall 9 with the H0RIZON-AGN model, the authors obtain H0 = 72.4_{-3.7}^{+3.4} km s^{-1} Mpc^{-1}.
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.
A new public relativistic transfer-function model reltrans for X-ray reverberation mapping that fits both spectra and lags to measure black-hole masses.
Radiation hydro simulations produce black hole mass and viewing angle dependent bolometric correction factors (tens to thousands) and radiative efficiencies (0.001-0.1) for super-Eddington TDE flows that alleviate the missing energy problem when applied to specific events.
Disk reflection from a compact lamp-post corona explains the X-ray polarization and spectra of NGC 4151.
Variable column density and covering factor of three ionized absorbers in clumpy disk winds explain the X-ray variability in I Zw 1 with stable corona.
Multi-wavelength data from SDSS J1430+2303 are interpreted as evidence that radiation pressure instabilities drive a shrinking unstable accretion-disk zone, based on timing analysis, weak soft excess, and SED-derived black-hole parameters.
Multifractal and information-theoretic measures applied to multi-band AGN light curves reveal persistent correlations and distinct variability patterns that support their use as diagnostics for physical processes.
Overview chapter summarizing traditional orientation-based and radiation-regulated unification models for AGN, including evolutionary aspects and changing-look AGN.
