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.
Turbulent electron-ion coronae around accreting black holes self-regulate into a two-temperature state that generates nonthermal ions and X-ray spectra consistent with observations including an MeV tail.
Low-luminosity AGN exhibit structure function slopes rising from 0.1 to 0.3 with black hole mass, no breaks on decadal scales, amplitude anticorrelated with luminosity and positively correlated with mass.
MHD-PIC simulations find that the non-thermal particle spectral index alpha steepens as alpha proportional to beta to the power 0.5 in the relativistic regime, due to inertial mass density acting as an energy sink that reduces Alfven velocity.
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.
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.
Compiled slab-geometry Seyfert coronae form a narrow constant-y≈0.77 locus, favouring dominant local coronal dissipation and reduced disc-corona feedback.
A balloon mission concept with 8192 TES detectors projects 200 eV FWHM resolution at 511 keV and 35-sigma detection of the galactic center 511 keV line to study its shape and substructure.
