Astrophysics and Evolution of Supermassive Black Holes INAF - Osservatorio Astronomico di Bologna IASF – CNR sezione di Bologna Dipartimento di Astronomia – Universita’ Bologna
STRATEGY: HIGH ENERGY OBSERVATIONS and MULTIWAVELENGTH FOLLOW-UP • WHY Probe the inner regions strong field limit of GR Unbiased (Unobscured) view of accretion history • AIMS Mapping physics and geometry of central BH Space density and evolution of obscured accreting BH • WHEN since early 2000 (launch of XMM and Chandra) based on the BeppoSAX heritage up to the foreseen life of NASA and ESA cornerstones (2008-2010)

SMBH ASTROPHYSICS • Deep high energy observations of bright Seyfert galaxies and quasars • Direct (unabsorbed) probe of the disc/BH system inner regions • High quality spectroscopy (continuum + emission/absorption line parameters) • High throughput (variability, reverberation mapping) • High-quality imaging of high z QSO • Reverberation mapping in Opt/UV
Broad-band (0.1-100 keV) X-ray Observations of AGNs Cappi et al., ‘99, Malaguti et al. ‘98, ‘01, etc. (single objects) Dadina et al., in preparation ( all the AGNs (z<0.1) in BeppoSAX archive) BeppoSAX spectra up to 100 keV for about 100 AGNs R and Ec for about 20 AGNs Importance of high-energy coverage for the astrophysics of AGNs N. of sources N. of sources Gamma R N. of sources Ec
X-ray mapping of the Inner regions of AGNs Ponti et al. 2003, Dadina& Cappi 2003, Longinotti et al. 2003, etc First model-independent confirmationofthe existenceof a broad FeK linein MCG-6-30-15 First reverberation mappingof the FeK line (r<100 rs) continuum FeK line
Diffuse emission from AGN : e.g. NGC 5252 with Chandra (Joint XMM and Chandra observation)
Primi spettri • Monitoraggio di QSO a Loiano • Zitelli e Stirpe + Trevese (Univ. Roma) • Avviato nel 2003 • 2 PG QSO con z > 1, V 15 • Osservazioni fotometriche e spettroscopiche a Loiano (1.5m) con cadenza mensile • Finalizzato a misurare il ritardo delle variazioni delle righe rispetto a quelle del continuo ottenere dimensioni della Broad Line Region e, combinando con la larghezza delle righe, la massa del buco nero centrale • Non ancora fatto per alte luminosità
Vista variabilità, misura preliminare di ritardo (ca. 60 d) in UM 87 • Monitoraggio di QSO ad alto z al VLT con ISAAC • Stirpe + Marconi e Salvati (Arcetri), Capetti (Torino), Axon e Robinson (Rochester, NY), Horne (St. Andrews) • Finalità simili al programma di Loiano, ma per z più alti e righe di ionizzazione più bassa • Avviato nel 2001, cadenze mensili in service mode (6 h/semestre) • 2 QSO con z=2.3, K=15
X-ray Lighthouses at the Dawn of the Modern Universe (C. Vignali) >500 QSOs at z>4 ~90 detected by Chandra/XMM X-ray emission is a universal property of QSOs Spectral shape constant up to z=6 UV to X-ray ratio higher for brighter quasars
X-RAY COSMOLOGY • HARD X-RAY SURVEYS • Insensitive to absorption up to large column densities (log NH < 24, Compton-thin) • Most direct probe of the super-massive black holes (SMBH) accretion activity recorded in the XRB spectral energy density • Test of XRB models test of AGN unified schemes physics and geometry of obscuring gas and dust • MULTIWAVELENGTH FOLLOW-UP • Optical Identifications • Redshift, Luminosity and Absorption distributions • X-ray properties (individual and stacked) of other classes non-AGN objects (Starburst, galaxies, EROs, etc..)
