XRISM Spectroscopy of Variable Accretion-driven Disk Winds in NGC 4151: When, Where, and How Fast Outflows are Launched
Xin Xiang, Jon Miller, Missagh Mehdipour +12
X-ray observations probe the inner accretion flow within active galactic nuclei, revealing the highest gas column densities and fastest winds. The most diverse winds yet revealed w…
Reverberation in the Narrow Fe K Line in the Seyfert Galaxy NGC 4151 with XRISM
Jon M. Miller, Aberahmen Zoghbi, Xin Xiang +11
Emission lines that "echo" variations in the ionizing flux produced close to black holes are powerful probes of the central engine. In the Seyfert-1.5 galaxy NGC 4151, high-resolut…
Energy dependence of the X-ray power spectrum in NGC4051 and NGC4395
V. A. Diamantopoulos, I. E. Papadakis, A. Akylas +3
Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) exhibit strong variability across the electromagnetic spectrum on a wide range of timescales, particularly in X-rays where fluctuations are both rapid…
XRISM Spectroscopy of the Stellar-mass Black Hole GRS 1915+105
Jon M. Miller, Liyi Gu, John Raymond +11
GRS 1915105 was the stellar-mass black hole that best reproduced key phenomena that are also observed in Type-1 active galactic nuclei. In recent years, however, it has evolved…
XRISM/Resolve Spectroscopy of the Central Engine in the Seyfert-1 AGN Mrk 279
Jon M. Miller, Xin Xiang, Doyee Byun +9
High-resolution X-ray spectroscopy with XRISM gives an unprecedented view of the ``central engine'' in active galactic nuclei, providing unique insights into black hole accretion a…
The population of NuSTAR Black Hole X-ray Binaries
Paul A. Draghis, Jon M. Miller, Laura Brenneman +5
The spin of a black hole (BH) encodes information about its formation and evolution history. Yet the understanding of the distribution of BH spins in X-ray binaries (XBs), of the m…
