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.
In 24 BHXRB outbursts, the thermal disk luminosity drops below the soft-state exponential decay baseline, and this deficit is used as a tracer of disk truncation, corroborated by decreasing timing frequencies.
VLBA multi-frequency imaging reveals a relativistic, well-collimated jet of ~745 pc in a z=3.4 super-Eddington radio-loud quasar, distinct from low-redshift analogues.
V1094 Sco's disk shows a planet-like double gap at ~100 au and outer rings matching secular gravitational instability, implying a hybrid origin for ring-gap pairs in one disk.
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.
Radiative transfer modeling of protostellar ices shows absorption originates mainly from 1000-2000 au at the cavity-envelope transition, with apparent CO2/H2O and CO/H2O ratios potentially underestimated due to line-of-sight effects.
Elliptical BLR geometries cause the virial factor f to vary by over an order of magnitude and induce ~0.18 dex scatter in the R-L relation, challenging attributions of RM uncertainties to non-virial motions or radiation pressure.
A 2D Monte Carlo dust evolution simulation shows that a planet-induced pressure bump reproduces the observed compositions and formation ages of carbonaceous chondrites, implying formation in a single long-lived dust trap outside Jupiter's orbit.
Fast-spinning black holes can bend their disk's own thermal X-rays back onto the disk, and scattering can create a corona-free power-law tail with a distinctive polarization swing.
A final data release of 62 reverberation-mapped AGN black hole masses and recalibrated R–L scaling relations, reporting ~0.25 dex scatter for Hβ/MgII and revised CIV masses.
LITMUS estimates reverberation lags with low false-positive rates by combining a lag grid with Gaussian approximations of the posterior, and uses Bayesian evidence to filter out spurious detections.
SPH simulations of AGB wind-binary interactions over 600+ orbital periods show that slow winds with massive companions produce circumbinary disks via wind Roche-lobe overflow, with disk morphology depending on eccentricity and mass ratio.
A 1D accretion model shows MAD formation for Pm ≳ 1, outer-disk IR emission missed by one-zone approximations, and Pm-dependent X-ray mechanisms that affect IBH detectability in dense clouds.
Compiled slab-geometry Seyfert coronae form a narrow constant-y≈0.77 locus, favouring dominant local coronal dissipation and reduced disc-corona feedback.
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.
EP J174942.2-384834 is classified as a very faint X-ray transient black hole candidate based on its hard X-ray spectra, optical/UV brightening correlated with X-rays, and lack of radio emission.
A large collaboration compiles and compares merger rate predictions for massive black holes across multiple galaxy formation models to forecast LISA detections and quantify uncertainties.
Disk formation simulations reproduce carbonaceous chondrule oxygen isotopes with moderate radial infall or ice-depleted parental clouds, but ordinary chondrules inside the snow line remain difficult to explain under the modeled conditions.
General-relativistic ray-tracing shows that non-flat accretion disk geometries systematically bias iron Kα-derived black hole spin, coronal height, and inclination estimates when fit with flat-disk models.
