May 2026: ApJ paper on a VLBA campaign of the core of NGC 5044: proper motions of the jets, narrow HI absorption lines... its SMBH is alive and kicking!
December 2025: ApJ paper on the "menus" of SMBHs - is it hot or warm/cold gas that fuels powerful AGN feedback in clusters?
August 2025: ApJ paper on the onset of AGN feedback in the BCG of a z~0.5 "merging" cool core cluster
