Seyfert galaxy slab coronae show a nearly constant Compton y-parameter of 0.414, implying regulation by slab radiative equilibrium.
A Monte Carlo model of a Kerr black hole corona shows that photon collisions create a dense electron-positron pair cloud concentrated near the black hole, yielding X-ray temperatures, Compton parameters, and 4-10% polarization consistent with binary black hole observations.
Discovery of Spearman correlation 0.8 between energy-dependent time lag and polarization degree in Swift J1727.8-1613, with theoretical arguments for additional mechanisms beyond inverse Comptonization.
Reconnection in transrelativistic AGN coronae can energize protons to tens of PeV, producing a neutrino spectrum consistent with NGC 1068 observations without tuning the proton spectral slope.
