The Intermediate-Mass Black Hole Reverberation Mapping Project: Scientific Overview and Sample Characteristics

Hengxiao Guo, Jiancheng Wu, Wenwen Zuo +38

Recent discoveries with the James Webb Space Telescope of massive black holes at high redshift have highlighted fundamental questions about black hole seed formation and the coevol…

Tracing Fe K X-ray reverberation lag in the energy-resolved spectra of Narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy Ton S180

Dilip Kumar Roy, Samuzal Barua, Ranjeev Misra +2

We report the Fe K relativistic reverberation feature for the first time in the Narrow-line Seyfert\,1 galaxy Ton\,S180. Using a long observation from {\it XMM-Newton} we find that…

Compton hump reverberation lag in the bright Seyfert 1 galaxy IC 4329A with NuSTAR

Samuzal Barua, Hengxiao Guo, Minfeng Gu +1

Recent reverberation delay measurements have moved beyond the 10 keV X-ray range, providing evidence for the Compton hump (a.k.a. reflection hump) in the lag spectra. We report the…

The Intermediate-Mass Black Hole Reverberation Mapping Project: First Detection of Mid-Infrared Lags in Prototypical IMBHs in NGC 4395 and POX 52

Jingbo Sun, Hengxiao Guo, Wenwen Zuo +25

The search for robust evidence of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) is crucial for understanding black hole seeding process and the formation of supermassive black holes in the…

A Search for X-ray/UV Correlation in the Reflection-Dominated Seyfert 1 Galaxy Mrk 1044

Samuzal Barua, Oluwashina K. Adegoke, Ranjeev Misra +3

Correlated variability between coronal X-rays and disc optical/UV photons provides a very useful diagnostic of the interplay between the different regions around an active galactic…

Correlated variability of the reflection fraction with the X-ray flux and spectral index for Mkn 478

Samuzal Barua, V. Jithesh, Ranjeev Misra +2

The X-ray spectrum of Mkn 478 is known to be dominated by a strong soft excess which can be described using relativistic blurred reflection. Using observations from {\it XMM-Newton…

Evidence for coronal temperature variation in Seyfert 2 ESO 103--035 using NuSTAR observations

Samuzal Barua, V. Jithesh, Ranjeev Misra +4

We report flux-resolved spectroscopic analysis of the active galactic nucleus (AGN) ESO 103--035 using \textit{NuSTAR} observations. Following an earlier work, we fit the spectra u…

NuSTAR observation of Ark 564 reveals the variation of coronal temperature with flux

Samuzal Barua, V. Jithesh, Ranjeev Misra +3

The hard X-ray spectral index of some AGN has been observed to steepen with the source flux. This has been interpreted in a Comptonization scenario, where an increase in the soft f…
