New publicly available X-ray table models RXToPo and RXagn1 with realistic AGN geometries (torus, polar cone, disk, BLR) generated via RefleX and tested on NGC 424.
XRISM/Resolve data on Mrk 509 show a tentative 3.6-sigma infalling absorber at 11000 km/s located within thousands of gravitational radii, interpreted as raining clumps from a failed wind.
The mHz QPO in 1ES 1927+654 has persisted and stabilized at ~2.5 mHz with stable soft lags, no strong harmonic, and repeatable large-amplitude flux patterns, also seen in NuSTAR.
Fe Kα lines from accreting black holes are produced mostly outside 10 gravitational radii due to radial ionization gradients, allowing broad profiles without high spin.
A new public relativistic transfer-function model reltrans for X-ray reverberation mapping that fits both spectra and lags to measure black-hole masses.
Variable column density and covering factor of three ionized absorbers in clumpy disk winds explain the X-ray variability in I Zw 1 with stable corona.
Multifractal and information-theoretic measures applied to multi-band AGN light curves reveal persistent correlations and distinct variability patterns that support their use as diagnostics for physical processes.
