High Resolution X-ray Spectroscopy of Seyfert 2 Galaxies
S. M. Kahn, A. Kinkhabwala, M. Sako +6
X-ray spectroscopy of Seyfert 2 galaxies provides an excellent probe of the circumnuclear environment in active galactic nuclei. The grating experiments on both Chandra and XMM-New…
Soft X-ray Spectroscopy of Seyfert 2 Galaxies
A. Kinkhabwala, M. Sako, E. Behar +6
Soft X-ray spectroscopy of Seyfert 2 galaxies offers perhaps the best method to probe the possible connection between AGN activity and star formation. Obscuration of powerful radia…
Confronting atomic data with Fe L-shell spectra of stellar coronae
E. Behar, J. Cottam, J. R. Peterson +5
It is common to suggest the uncertainties in the atomic data for explaining difficulties that arise in interpreting astrophysical x-ray spectra. The atomic data for the Fe L-shell…
A physically consistent model for X-ray emission by Seyfert 2 galaxies demonstrated on NGC 1068
E. Behar, A. Kinkhabwala, M. Sako +5
Preliminary analysis of the X-ray spectrum of NGC 1068 obtained by the RGS spectrometer on board XMM-Newton is presented. A physically consistent model is developed in order to qua…
