Dynamic Accretion Disk-Corona Connection and Broad Fe K Variability in Mrk 766 Revealed by Time-Resolved High Resolution X-Ray Spectroscopic Analysis

Ayon Mondal, Tathagata Saha, Arijit Sar +1

We present a multi-epoch, primarily X-ray study of the narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLSy1) galaxy Mrk~766 by combining archival \textit{XMM-Newton} observations spanning nearly two decad…

eRASSU J043115.8-711730 :the first pulsating symbiotic super-soft X-ray source in the Magellanic Bridge

Tathagata Saha, Chandreyee Maitra, Philip Charles +9

The Magellanic Bridge stellar population is a relic of the tidal interaction between the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. A comprehensive view of the evolution of the Bridge stel…

A break in the X-ray loudness of Markarian 590: evidence for an AGN spectral state transition?

B. Palit, A. Rozanska, A. G. Markowitz +8

Using decade-long multi-band {\it Swift} observations of the changing-look AGN Markarian 590, we identify a clear break in the dependence of the X-ray loudness parameter $α_{\rm ox…

The Close AGN Reference Survey (CARS). Long-term spectral variability study of the changing look AGN Mrk 1018

T. Saha, M. Krumpe, A. Markowitz +9

Changing-look AGNs (CLAGN) are accreting supermassive black hole systems that undergo variations in optical spectral type, driven by major changes in accretion rate. Mrk 1018 has u…

An X-ray flaring event and a variable soft X-ray excess in the Seyfert LCRS B040659.9-385922 as detected with eROSITA

S. Krishnan, A. G. Markowitz, M. Krumpe +13

Extreme continuum variability in AGNs can indicate extreme changes in accretion flows onto supermassive black holes. We explore the multiwavelength nature of a continuum flare in t…

eROSITA Detection of a Cloud Obscuration Event in the Seyfert AGN EC 04570-5206

Alex Markowitz, Mirko Krumpe, David Homan +13

Recent years have seen broad observational support for the presence of a clumpy component within the circumnuclear gas around SMBHs. In the X-ray band, individual clouds can manife…
