The local dusty environment of active galactic nuclei
Dust reprocesses the intrinsic radiation of active galactic nuclei (AGN) to emerge at longer wavelengths. The mid-infrared (MIR) luminosity depends broadly on...
The multiple routes of galaxy transformation across the cosmic epochs
In the local universe most of the stellar mass is in passive galaxies, where star formation isabsent or at very low levels. Understanding what are the...
The nuclear infrared emission of low-luminosity active galactic nuclei
Low-luminosity AGN (LLAGN; LINERs and low-luminosity Seyferts) are present in numerous nearby galaxies and are often suggested to be the "missing link" between...
The star formation history of nearby active galactic nuclei
Since the pioneering studies linking the mass of supermassive black holes (SMBH) with the velocity dispersion of their host galaxies bulges it has become...
Two-component model for III Zw 2 broad line region
We have modelled the central emitting broad line region (BLR) of the III Zw 2 using the Hα, Hβ, Lyα and Mg II (2798) broad lines. We proposed that two-component...
Unraveling the Complex Behavior of Mrk 421 with Simultaneous X-Ray and VHE Observations during an Extreme Flaring Activity in 2013 April
We report on a multiband variability and correlation study of the TeV blazar Mrk 421 during an exceptional flaring activity observed from 2013 April 11 to 19...
Very High Energy emission at the Cosmic Gamma Ray Horizon: a MAGIC discovery happened thanks to gravitational lensing
The Major Atmospheric Gamma-ray Imaging Cherenkov (MAGIC) telescopes reported the discovery of the most distant gamma-ray source ever observed at very high...
The great energy source of ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) may be the accreting supermassive black holes of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) or intense...
