Supermassive black holes can power some of the brightest and most energetic sources in the Universe. In Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs), matter accreting onto the central black hole can launch relativistic jets whose emission is observed across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, from radio waves to gamma rays.

A useful way to visualize their broadband emission is through the characteristic...

Gravitational waves provide a unique way to study some of the most extreme phenomena in the Universe, offering access to astrophysical processes that may be hidden or only partially visible through traditional electromagnetic observations. Their observation has already transformed modern astrophysics, and future progress will depend not only on detector sensitivity, but also on our ability to...
