Our Spotlight Series highlights recent advances in AGN science, with a strong emphasis on participation from early-career researchers, and includes plenty of time for community discussion following the presentations. The post AGN SIG Spotlight Series, 22 Sept 2026 appeared first on NASA Science .
The AGN SIG Spotlight Series was held on September 22nd, 2026, at 1:00pm ET. The event featured two presentations by early-career researchers discussing recent advances in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) science. Dr. Matteo Ceci of the Università di Firenze presented findings from the MIRACLE program, which used JWST/MIRI, MUSE, and ALMA observations to study the role of multi-phase AGN outflows.
Dr. Elias Kammoun of the California Institute of Technology discussed the X-ray polarization of the type-1 AGN NGC 4151 using IXPE observations, proposing a model where the polarization is dominated by relativistic reflection from an accretion disk illuminated by a compact corona.
