I study active galactic nuclei, mostly in the X-rays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Projects<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>I am currently studying warm absorbers, i.e. outflowing gas that absorbs the X-ray emission from the central source, in local AGN. The origin and location of this gas outflowing from the innermost parts of the AGN is still debated. Additionally, I also study multi-wavelength outflows at small and large scale, which might be a powerful tool to unveil the role of supermassive black holes in shaping the galaxy that host them. Furthermore, I am interested in the multi-wavelength study of dual AGN and binary supermassive black holes, which are the byproducts of galaxy mergers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Highlights<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>I am an associate external member of the Italian National Institute of Astrophyics (INAF)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I am a member of several scientific collaborations, such as LISA, Athena, Lunar Gravitational-Wave Antenna (LGWA), Son of X-Shooter (SOXS), and BASS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We published a paper with one of the first detection of an Ultra-Fast Outflow entraining a distant ionized absorber. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aanda.org\/articles\/aa\/full_html\/2019\/07\/aa35275-19\/aa35275-19.html\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.aanda.org\/articles\/aa\/full_html\/2019\/07\/aa35275-19\/aa35275-19.html<\/a> ESA press release <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/sci.esa.int\/web\/xmm-newton\/-\/61487-how-black-holes-shape-galaxies\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/sci.esa.int\/web\/xmm-newton\/-\/61487-how-black-holes-shape-galaxies<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We performed the first systematic search for supermassive black hole binaries in the X-rays <a href=\"https:\/\/iopscience.iop.org\/article\/10.3847\/1538-4357\/abb3c3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/iopscience.iop.org\/article\/10.3847\/1538-4357\/abb3c3<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Publications<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ui.adsabs.harvard.edu\/user\/libraries\/4le3oumxRxSsCrNGThvsvg%3Cbr%3E\"><strong>NASA ADS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Extracurricular activities<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>In my spare time, I love to listen to heavy music and go to concerts, reading, and hiking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact me<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>roberto.serafinelli [at] mail.udp.cl<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Postdoctoral researcher, studying AGN, mostly in the X-ray regime &#8211; also including outflows at different scales, and the multi-wavelength exploration of dual AGN and binary supermassive black holes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":8552,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"disabled","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"disabled","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":""},"researcher-category":[255],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/astronomia.udp.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/researcher\/5652"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/astronomia.udp.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/researcher"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/astronomia.udp.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/researcher"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astronomia.udp.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/astronomia.udp.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/researcher\/5652\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8553,"href":"https:\/\/astronomia.udp.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/researcher\/5652\/revisions\/8553"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astronomia.udp.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8552"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/astronomia.udp.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5652"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"researcher-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astronomia.udp.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/researcher-category?post=5652"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
