We have recently initiated the first spectroscopic dust reverberation programme on active galactic nuclei in the near-infrared. Spectroscopy enables measurement of dust properties, such as flux, temperature, and covering factor, with higher precision...

Journal Article
Kynoch, D., Landt, H., Ward, M. J., Done, C., Boisson, C., Baloković, M., …Myserlis, I. (2019). The relativistic jet of the γ-ray emitting narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy PKS J1222+0413. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 487(1), 181-197. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stz1193

We present a multi-frequency study of PKS J1222+0413 (4C +04.42), currently the highest redshift γ-ray emitting narrow-line Seyfert 1 (γ-NLS1). We assemble a broad spectral energy distribution (SED) including previously unpublished datasets: X-ray da...

Torus model properties of an ultra-hard X-ray selected sample of Seyfert galaxies (2019)
Journal Article
García-Bernete, I., Ramos Almeida, C., Alonso-Herrero, A., Ward, M., Acosta-Pulido, J., Pereira-Santaella, M., …Fuller, L. (2019). Torus model properties of an ultra-hard X-ray selected sample of Seyfert galaxies. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 486(4), 4917-4935. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stz1003

We characterize for the first time the torus properties of an ultra-hard X-ray (14–195 keV) volume-limited (DL < 40 Mpc) sample of 24 Seyfert (Sy) galaxies (BCS40 sample). The sample was selected from the Swift/BAT nine-month catalogue.We use high an... Read More about Torus model properties of an ultra-hard X-ray selected sample of Seyfert galaxies.

The ‘Big Dipper’: the nature of the extreme variability of the AGN SDSS J2232−0806 (2019)
Journal Article
Kynoch, D., Ward, M. J., Lawrence, A., Bruce, A. G., Landt, H., & MacLeod, C. L. (2019). The ‘Big Dipper’: the nature of the extreme variability of the AGN SDSS J2232−0806. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 485(2), 2573-2588. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stz517

SDSS J2232−0806 (the ‘Big Dipper’) has been identified as a ‘slow-blue nuclear hypervariable’: a galaxy with no previously known active nucleus, blue colours, and large-amplitude brightness evolution occurring on a time-scale of years. Subsequent obs... Read More about The ‘Big Dipper’: the nature of the extreme variability of the AGN SDSS J2232−0806.
