It’s been a privilege to lead the HEX-P AGN science team as talented postdocs on our team led these great papers!

And we can trace variations as they travel in towards the black hole through the accretion disc, before they reach the inner regions and energise the corona that produces the X-rays. We can begin to see the connection between the corona and disc in real time!

Using these wavelet-based methods, we can uncover the echo or reverberation signal that was mysteriously missing in a couple of well-studied supermassive black holes. Echoes from the accretion disc can be hidden beneath ultrafast outflows (UFOs), winds at 25% the speed of light

So close, but the launch was cancelled due to bad weather. Word is it could be a few days before conditions are right to launch.
