Aims. Active galactic nuclei (AGN) often show evidence of photoionized outflows. A major uncertainty in models for these outflows is the distance (R) to gas from central black hole. In this paper we use HST/COS data a massive multi-wavelength monitoring campaign on bright Seyfert I galaxy Mrk 509, combination with archival HST/STIS data, constrain location various kinematic components outflow.
We present medium resolution (R~20,000) HST/COS ultraviolet spectra covering 1155-1760 A of the Seyfert 1 Mrk 509 obtained simultaneously with a Chandra/LETGS spectrum as part multiwavelength campaign in 2009 that included observations XMM-Newton, SWIFT, and Integral. Our high S/N detects additional complexity absorption troughs from variety sources 509, including outflow active nucleus, ISM halo host galaxy, infalling clouds or stripped gas merger are illuminated by AGN.

Modified dark matter (MDM) is a phenomenological model of matter, inspired by gravitational thermodynamics. For an accelerating Universe with positive cosmological constant ($\Lambda$), such considerations lead to the emergence critical acceleration parameter related $\Lambda$. Such effective manifestation MDM, and it found in correlations between baryonic galaxy rotation curves. The resulting MDM mass profiles, which are sensitive $\Lambda$, consistent observational data at both galactic...
We discuss the possibility that cold dark matter mass profiles contain information on cosmological constant, and such constrains nature of (CDM). call this approach Modified Dark Matter (MDM). In particular, we examine ability MDM to explain observed 13 galaxy clusters. Using general arguments from gravitational thermodynamics, provide a theoretical justification for our profile successfully compare it NFW both cluster galactic scales. Our results suggest indeed CDM about constant in non-trivial way.
In this paper we analyze the X-ray, UV, and optical data of Seyfert 1.5 galaxy 1H0419-577 with aim detecting studying an ionized-gas outflow. The source was observed simultaneously in X-rays XMM-Newton UV HST-COS. Optical were also acquired Monitor. We detected a thin, lowly ionized warm absorber (log ξ ≈ 0.03, log NH 19.9 cm-2) X-ray spectrum, which is consistent to be produced by same outflow already UV.

An acceleration scale of order $10^{-10}\mathrm{m/s^2}$ is implicit in the baryonic Tully-Fisher and Faber-Jackson relations, independently any theoretical preference or bias. We show that existence this relation most apparent when data from pressure supported systems vastly different scales including globular clusters, elliptical galaxies, galaxy clusters are analyzed together. This suggests relevance to structure formation processes at many length could be pointing a heretofore unknown...
Modified Dark Matter (MDM) is a phenomenological model of dark matter, inspired by gravitational thermodynamics, that naturally accounts for the universal acceleration constant observed in galactic rotation curve data; critical related to cosmological constant, $\Lambda$, appears as manifestation MDM. We show resulting mass profiles, which are sensitve consistent with observations at and galaxy cluster scales. Our results suggest matter profiles contain information about non-trivial way.
Observations of velocity dispersions galactic structures over a wide range scales point to the existence universal acceleration scale $a_0\sim 10^{-10}$ m/s$^2$. Focusing on fuzzy dark matter paradigm, which proposes ultralight with mass around $10^{-22}$ eV and de Broglie wavelength $\lambda\sim {\rm few}\times10^{2}$ parsecs, we highlight emergence observed from quantum effects in fluid-like description dynamics. We then suggest possibility natural connection between energy within same paradigm.
