On the Origin of Broad Fe K alpha and Hi H alpha Lines in AGN

J. W. Sulentic, P. Marziani, T. Zwitter +2

We examine the properties of the Fe emission lines that arise near 6.4 keV in the ASCA spectra of AGN. Our emphasis is on the Seyfert 1 galaxies where broad and apparently complex…

Discovery of a Supernova Explosion at Half the Age of the Universe and its Cosmological Implications

S. Perlmutter, G. Aldering, M. Della Valle +20

The ultimate fate of the universe, infinite expansion or a big crunch, can be determined by measuring the redshifts, apparent brightnesses, and intrinsic luminosities of very dista…

Multiwavelength Observations of a Dramatic High Energy Flare in the Blazar 3C 279

A. E. Wehrle, E. Pian, C. M. Urry +3

The blazar 3C 279, one of the brightest identified extragalactic objects in the gamma-ray sky, underwent a flare of a factor 10 amplitude in gamma-rays towards the end of a 3-week…
