The AGN STORM 2 campaign is a large, multiwavelength reverberation mapping project designed to trace out the structure of Mrk 817 from the inner accretion disk to the broad emission line region and out to the dusty torus. As part of this campaign, Sw... Read More about AGN STORM 2. IV. Swift X-Ray and Ultraviolet/Optical Monitoring of Mrk 817.

The outer dusty edge of accretion disks in active galactic nuclei (2023)
Journal Article
Landt, H. (2023). The outer dusty edge of accretion disks in active galactic nuclei. Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 10, 1256088. https://doi.org/10.3389/fspas.2023.1256088

Recent models for the inner structure of active galactic nuclei (AGN) aim at connecting the outer region of the accretion disk with the broad-line region and dusty torus through a radiatively accelerated, dusty outflow. Such an outflow not only requi... Read More about The outer dusty edge of accretion disks in active galactic nuclei.

The SOUX AGN sample: optical/UV/X-ray SEDs and the nature of the disc (2023)
Journal Article

We use the SOUX sample of ∼700 active galactic nucleus (AGN) to form average optical-ultraviolet (UV)-X-rays spectral energy distributions (SEDs) on a two-dimensional (2D) grid of MBH and L2500. We compare these with the predictions of a new AGN SED... Read More about The SOUX AGN sample: optical/UV/X-ray SEDs and the nature of the disc.
