Abstract: Photoevaporation driven by high energy radiation from the central star plays an important role in the evolution of protoplanetary discs. Photoevaporative winds have been unambiguously detected through blue-shifted emission lines, but their detailed properties remain… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stab2214
Abstract: Growth of the black holes (BHs) from the seeds to supermassive BHs (SMBHs, $\sim \!10^9\, M_\odot$) is not understood, but the mass accretion must have played an important role. We performed 2D radiation hydrodynamics simulations… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnrasl/sly204
Abstract: We report on the detection of a blueshifted Fe K absorption feature in two consecutive XMM–Newton observations of the luminous blue quasar Ton 28, at the 4σ cumulative significance. The rest energy of 9.2 keV implies the presence… read more here.
