Hard X-ray ($\geq 10$ keV) observations of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) can shed light on some of the most obscured episodes of accretion onto supermassive black holes. The 70-month Swift/BAT all-sky survey, which probes the 14-195 keV…

Nuclear starbursts may contribute to the obscuration of active galactic nuclei (AGNs). The predicted star formation rates are modest, and, for the obscured AGNs that form the X-ray background at z < 1, the associated faint radio emission…

We present results of a high-resolution soft X-ray (0.2-2 keV) spectroscopic study of a sample of 69 nearby obscured Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) observed with the Reflection Grating Spectrometer (RGS) on board XMM-Newton. This is the…

We present infrared, optical, and X-ray data of 48 X-ray bright, optically dull AGNs in the COSMOS field. These objects exhibit the X-ray luminosity of an active galactic nucleus (AGN) but lack broad and narrow emission lines in their…

The $\gamma$-ray emission from active galactic nuclei (AGN), including both beamed blazars and misaligned-AGN, dominates the extragalactic $\gamma$-ray point-source population count and flux. While multi-wavelength studies have detected an…

We present a measurement of the fraction of cluster galaxies hosting X-ray bright Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) as a function of clustercentric distance scaled in units of $r_{500}$. Our analysis employs high quality Chandra X-ray and Subaru…

We report new Chandra hard X-ray ($>2\rm~keV$) and JVLA C-band observations of the nuclear superbubble of NGC 3079, an analog of the "Fermi bubble" in our Milky Way. We detect extended hard X-ray emission on the SW side of the galactic…

We report results from the simultaneous XRISM (183 ks) and NuSTAR (62 ks) observations of the Seyfert-2 galaxy NGC 4388. This AGN has the brightest Fe K$\alpha$ line among Compton-thin, obscured sources. To model the reflection continuum…

Imaging X-ray spectroscopy of nearby AGNs, mostly with Chandra, has shown that extended soft (<2.5 keV) emission-line dominated X-ray biconical structures, of kiloparsec scale, are widespread in highly absorbed Compton Thick (CT) AGNs. The…

We combine mid-infrared diagnostics obtained from integral-field unit observations taken with MIRI/MRS on JWST with cold molecular gas information derived from ALMA observations of CO(1-0) emission to investigate the star formation rate and…

We present results from sensitive, multi-epoch NuSTAR observations of the late-type star-forming galaxy M83 (d=4.6 Mpc), which is the first investigation to spatially resolve the hard (E>10 keV) X-ray emission of this galaxy. The nuclear…

NGC 1275 is one of the most conspicuous active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the local Universe. The radio jet currently emits a flux density of $\sim 10$ Jy at $\sim 1$ mm wavelengths, down from the historic high of $\sim 65$ Jy in 1980. Yet,…

Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are believed to be one of the main source candidates for the high-energy (TeV-PeV) cosmic neutrino flux recently discovered by the IceCube neutrino observatory. Nevertheless, several correlation studies between…

We present new mid-infrared N-band spectroscopy and Q-band photometry of the local luminous infrared galaxy NGC1614, one of the most extreme nearby starbursts. We analyze the mid-IR properties of the nucleus (central 150 pc) and four…

We report the discovery of a Compton-thick AGN and of intense star-formation activity in the nucleus and disk, respectively, of the nearly edge-on superwind galaxy NGC 4666. Spatially unresolved emission is detected by BeppoSAX only at…

We report the detection of hard X-ray emission from the field of the star-forming region NGC 6334 with the the International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory INTEGRAL. The JEM-X monitor and ISGRI imager aboard INTEGRAL and Chandra ACIS…

The recent Chandra discovery of extended $\sim$kpc-scale hard ($>$ 3 keV) X-ray emission in nearby Compton-thick (CT) active galactic nuclei (AGN) opens a new window to improving AGN torus modeling and investigating how the central super…

We present the X-ray properties of the 'Teacup AGN' (SDSS J1430+1339), a $z=0.085$ type 2 quasar which is interacting dramatically with its host galaxy. Spectral modelling of the central quasar reveals a powerful, highly obscured AGN with a…
