Description
Recent X-ray spectroscopic and polarimetric observations of nearby Seyfert galaxies are providing new constraints on the physics and geometry of the innermost AGN regions, where hot and dense plasmas are present and powerful outflows are launched. At the same time, in the distant Universe, new AGN populations discovered by JWST are escaping detection in the X-rays, even in the deepest X-ray fields observed to date, challenging our current view of accretion onto supermassive black holes.
In this talk, I will review these new X-ray results on AGN physics and demographics, and discuss how they may combine with AGN neutrino observations to advance our understanding of the 'big picture'.
