We present simultaneous optical and X-ray data from Swift for a sample of FSRQs selected from the EMSS survey. We present also a complete analysis of Swift and INTEGRAL data on 4 blazars recently discussed as possibly challenging the trends…

A recently-discovered class of outflows, extremely high-velocity outflows (EHVOs), may be key to understanding feedback processes as it is likely the most powerful in terms of mass-energy. These EHVOs have been observed at redshifts 1.052 <…

Broad lines in active galaxies are primarily emitted by photoionization processes that are driven by the incident continuum arising from a complex geometrical structure circumscribing the supermassive black hole. A model of the broad-band…

We present the mean spectral energy distribution (SED) of a sample of optically selected quasars (QSOs) at redshifts of $1 \le z \le 5$. To derive it, we exploit photometric information from SDSS, UKIDSS, and WISE surveys in combination…

We present an analysis of the complex associated system of the high-redshift QSO HE2347-4342. Absorption features of HI, CIII, CIV, NV, and OVI with up to 16 components occur in the optical spectral range located up to 1500 km/s redwards…

Only a handful of quasars have been identified as kinetically dominated, their long term time averaged jet power, $\overline{Q}$, exceeds the bolometric thermal emission, $L_{bol}$, associated with the accretion flow. This letter presents…

A landmark of accretion processes in active galactic nuclei (AGN) is the continuum originating from a complex structure, i.e., an accretion disk and a corona around a supermassive black hole. Modelling the broad-band spectral energy…

[Abridged] We present new VLT ISAAC spectra for 30 quasars, which we combine with previous data to yield a sample of 53 intermediate redshift (z ~ 0.9 - 3.0) sources. The sample is used to explore properties of prominent lines in the Hbeta…

We analyze the optical properties of Radio-Loud quasars along the Main Sequence (MS) of quasars. A sample of 355 quasars selected on the basis of radio detection was obtained by cross-matching the FIRST survey at 20cm and the SDSS DR12…

We present a set of new theoretical Fe II templates for bright quasars covering a wavelength range of 1000-10000 \AA\, based on the recent atomic database available in the C23.00 version of the photoionization code CLOUDY. We compute a grid…

Quasars are thought to be powered by supermassive black holes accreting surrounding gas. Central to this picture is a putative accretion disk which is believed to be the source of the majority of the radiative output. It is well known,…

The enrichment of Fe, relative to alpha-elements such as O and Mg, represents a potential means to determine the age of quasars and probe the galaxy formation epoch. To explore how \ion{Fe}{2} emission in quasars is linked to physical…

Blazars, a highly energetic subclass of jetted active galactic nuclei, show a broad band spectral energy distribution (SED) with two bumps, resulting from non-thermal jet emission. In 1998, an anticorrelation between the SED luminosity and…

We present Spitzer IRS spectra and MIPS photometry of 12 radio-loud QSOs with FR II morphologies at z ~ 0.3. Six of the sources are surrounded by luminous extended emission-line regions (EELRs), while the other six do not have such extended…

We present analysis from simultaneous FUSE, ASCA, and EUVE observations, as well as a reanalysis of archival HST spectra, from the extreme Narrow-line Seyfert 1 Galaxy RE 1034+39 (KUG 1031+398). RE 1034+39 has an unusually hard spectral…

BL Lac objects are the best candidates to study the jet properties since their spectral energy distributions (SEDs) are less contaminated by the emission from the accretion disk and external Compton processes. We compile the broadband SEDs…

The study of X-ray pulsar accretion columns helps us characterize accretion physics in this extreme regime of strong gravity and strong magnetic fields. Previous observations of the X-ray pulsar Hercules X-1 revealed a highly broadened Fe K…

Blazars' non-thermal emission shows rapid variability across all wavelengths, so spectral energy distributions (SEDs) built from quasi-simultaneous data are crucial for revealing the jets physical properties. In this work, we construct…

Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars (FSRQs) are weak sources of very high energy (VHE; E>100 GeV) emission, despite exhibiting strong MeV-GeV emissions that dominate their radiative output. To date, only ten FSRQs have been detected at VHEs,…

In the context of AGN unification scheme rapid variability properties play an important role in understanding any intrinsic differences between sources in different classes. In this respect any clue based on spectral properties will be very…
