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.
MHD collapse simulations define an Envelope-Disk Transition Zone (ENDTRANZ) where a jump in the j-r profile occurs due to positive gravitational torques, with a corresponding jump detected in ALMA observations of L1527 IRS.
Self-gravitating disks heated by stars reach a universal optical effective temperature of 4000-4500 K independent of accretion rate, black hole mass, and viscosity, explaining Little Red Dots.
Optical continuum lags in NGC 4395 remain stable at 5-15 minutes over multi-year baselines with negligible diffuse continuum contribution.
Cold compact circumbinary rings evolve into highly eccentric disks with suppressed accretion and dominant variability at ~0.1 times the binary orbital frequency via a stream impact mechanism.
Seyfert galaxy slab coronae show a nearly constant Compton y-parameter of 0.414, implying regulation by slab radiative equilibrium.
Larger black holes in TDEs accrete more material and launch faster winds, with unbound mildly relativistic winds for higher viscosity parameters and bound convective outflows for lower ones.
A new observable signature from frame-dragging processes near spinning black holes enables testing Einstein gravity and spin measurement via X-ray polarimetry.
OzDES final release delivers 62 new reverberation-mapped black hole masses and tighter lag-luminosity relations for Hβ, MgII, and CIV in high-redshift AGN after correcting for survey-length selection effects.
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.
V1094 Sco's ring-gap pairs result from a ~55 Earth-mass planet at ~100 au and secular gravitational instability at 170-230 au in a disk with weak turbulence allowing midplane dust concentrations.
Winds in shocked magnetized viscous accretion flows around rotating black holes reduce luminosity, modify shock radius, compression, and strength, and impose a critical wind parameter p^crit above which steady shocks cease to exist.
The routine model with bulk viscosity best reproduces the Crab pulsar's magnetic inclination angle, spin period, and derivative, while electromagnetic torque and accretion suppress inclination growth and most other effects are negligible.
