The extreme properties of the nearby hyper-Eddington accreting active galactic nucleus in IRAS 04416+1215

The extreme properties of the nearby hyper-Eddington accreting active galactic nucleus in IRAS 04416+1215

The physical properties of the accretion flow and of the X-ray emitting plasma, in supermassive black holes accreting at extreme Eddington rates, are still very unclear. Here we present the analysis of simultaneous XMM-Newton and NuSTAR observations of the hyper-Eddington Seyfert 1 galaxy IRAS 04416+1215, carried out in 2020. The …
