Monitoring RXTE Observations of Markarian 348: the origin of the column density variations

A. Akylas, I. Georgantopoulos, R. G. Griffiths +5

We analyze 37 RXTE observations of the type 2 Seyfert galaxy Mrk348 obtained during a period of 14 months. We confirm the spectral variability previous reported by Smith et al., in…

The X-ray Spectrum of Cyg X-2

C. Done, P. T. Zycki, D. A. Smith

The spectra of disc accreting neutron stars generally show complex curvature, and individual components from the disc, boundary layer and neutron star surface cannot be uniquely id…

A Chandra Observation of the Circinus Galaxy

David A. Smith, Andrew S. Wilson

We report on a recent Chandra ACIS-S observation of the Circinus galaxy. These observations confirm that the nuclear spectrum results from reflection of a hard X-ray continuum by `…
