NuSTAR and XMM-Newton Observations of NGC 1365: Extreme Absorption Variability and a Constant Inner Accretion Disk

D. J. Walton, G. Risaliti, F. A. Harrison +24

We present a spectral analysis of four coordinated NuSTAR+XMM-Newton observations of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 1365. These exhibit an extreme level of spectral variability, which is p…

X-ray reflection in oxygen-rich accretion discs of ultra-compact X-ray binaries

O. K. Madej, J. Garcia, P. G. Jonker +4

We present spectroscopic X-ray data of two candidate ultra-compact X-ray binaries: 4U~0614+091 and 4U~1543624. We confirm the presence of a broad O VIII Ly reflection line (a…

The Reflection Component from Cygnus X-1 in the Soft State Measured by NuSTAR and Suzaku

John A. Tomsick, Michael A. Nowak, Michael Parker +21

The black hole binary Cygnus X-1 was observed in late-2012 with the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) and Suzaku, providing spectral coverage over the ~1-300 keV range…

Long XMM observation of the Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 galaxy IRAS13224-3809: rapid variability, high spin and a soft lag

A. C. Fabian, E. Kara, D. J. Walton +21

Results are presented from a 500ks long XMM-Newton observation of the Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 galaxy IRAS13224-3809. The source is rapidly variable on timescales down to a few 100s.…

On the determination of the spin of the black hole in Cyg X-1 from X-ray reflection spectra

A. C. Fabian, D. R. Wilkins, J. M. Miller +9

The spin of Cygnus X-1 is measured by fitting reflection models to Suzaku data covering the energy band 0.9-400 keV. The inner radius of the accretion disc is found to lie within 2…

Relativistic disc reflection in the extreme NLS1 IRAS13224-3809

G. Ponti, L. C. Gallo, A. C. Fabian +7

We present a spectral variability study of the XMM-Newton and Suzaku observations of one of the most extreme Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxies, IRAS13224-3809. The X-ray spectrum is c…
