Relativistic accretion-disc models of Cyg X-1 in the soft state: a case study
Luciano Ye, Luigi Foschini
The thermal continuum of Cygnus X-1 in the soft state is often modelled with a multicolour disc in a Newtonian spacetime approximation. That choice is convenient for estimating the…
Hunting the nature of the Seyfert 1 galaxy GRS 1734-292: can it be a gamma-ray emitter?
Luigi Foschini
It has been proposed that the radio-weak Seyfert galaxy GRS 1734-292 is the counterpart of 3EG J1736-2908 and of the nearby Fermi/LAT source. I examine this identification, conside…
The power of relativistic jets: a comparative study
Luigi Foschini, Benedetta Dalla Barba, Merja Tornikoski +7
We present the results of a comparison between different methods to estimate the power of relativistic jets from active galactic nuclei (AGN). We selected a sample of 32 objects (2…
Broadband X-ray observations of four gamma-ray narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies
M. Berton, V. Braito, S. Mathur +4
Narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s) is one of the few classes of active galactic nuclei (AGN) harboring powerful relativistic jets and detected in rays. NLS1s are well-known…
The atmospheric fragmentation of the 1908 Tunguska Cosmic Body: reconsidering the possibility of a ground impact
L. Foschini, L. Gasperini, C. Stanghellini +3
The 1908 June 30 Tunguska Event (TE) is one of the best studied cases of cosmic body impacting the Earth with global effects. However, still today, significant doubts are casted on…
Multiwavelength survey of a sample of flat-spectrum radio-loud narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies
L. Foschini, M. Berton, A. Caccianiga +27
We report on a multiwavelength survey of a sample of 42 flat-spectrum radio-loud narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (RLNLS1s). This is the largest known sample of this type of active g…
