Absorption lines from magnetically-driven winds in X-ray binaries

S. Chakravorty, P-O. Petrucci, J. Ferreira +8

High resolution X-ray spectra of black hole X-ray binaries (BHBs) show blueshifted absorption lines from disk winds which seem to be equatorial. Winds occur in the Softer (disk-dom…

Modeling high-energy pulsar lightcurves from first principles

Benoît Cerutti, Alexander A. Philippov, Anatoly Spitkovsky

Current models of gamma-ray lightcurves in pulsars suffer from large uncertainties on the precise location of particle acceleration and radiation. Here, we present an attempt to al…

High-energy monitoring of Seyfert galaxies: the case of NGC 4593

F. Ursini, P. -O. Petrucci, G. Matt +6

We discuss preliminary results from a joint XMM-Newton and NuSTAR monitoring program on the active galactic nucleus NGC 4593, consisting of 5x20 ks observations, spaced by two days…

Anatomy of the AGN in NGC 5548: V. A clear view of the X-ray narrow emission lines

M. Whewell, G. Branduardi-Raymont, J. S. Kaastra +15

Context. Our consortium performed an extensive multi-wavelength campaign of the nearby Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 5548 in 2013-14. The source appeared unusually heavily absorbed in the s…

Variation of bulk Lorentz factor in AGN jets due to Compton rocket in a complex photon field

Thomas Vuillaume, Gilles Henri, Pierre-Olivier Petrucci

Radio-loud active galactic nuclei are among the most powerful objects in the universe. In these objects, most of the emission comes from relativistic jets getting their power from…

Anatomy of the AGN in NGC 5548 IV. The short-term variability of the outflows

L. Di Gesu, E. Costantini, J. Ebrero +16

During an extensive multiwavelength campaign that we performed in 2013-14 the prototypical Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 5548 has been found in an unusual condition of heavy and persistent…

Modelling the high-energy emission from gamma-ray binaries using numerical relativistic hydrodynamics

Guillaume Dubus, Astrid Lamberts, Sébastien Fromang

Detailed modeling of the high-energy emission from gamma-ray binaries has been propounded as a path to pulsar wind physics. Fulfilling this ambition requires a coherent model of th…

Infrared study of H1743-322 in outburst: a radio-quiet and NIR-dim microquasar

S. Chaty, A. J. Muñoz Arjonilla, G. Dubus

The X-ray binary, black hole candidate, and microquasar H1743-322 exhibited a series of X-ray outbursts between 2003 and 2008. We took optical/infrared (OIR) observations with the…

X-ray Transients: Hyper- or Hypo-Luminous?

Jean-Pierre Lasota, Andrew R. King, Guillaume Dubus

The disk instability picture gives a plausible explanation for the behavior of soft X-ray transient systems if self-irradiation of the disk is included. We show that there is a sim…
