The X-ray view of the ionization cone in NGC5252
Matteo Guainazzi, Stefano Bianchi, Massimo Cappi +2
We present the results of a Chandra soft X-ray observation of the spectacular ionization cone in the nearby Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 5252. As almost invariably observed in obscured AGN…
FERO (Finding Extreme Relativistic Objects): statistics of relativistic broad Fe K alpha lines in AGN
A. L. Longinotti, I. de La Calle, S. Bianchi +2
The properties of the relativistically broadened Fe K alpha line emitted in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are still debated among the AGN community. Recent works seem to exclude tha…
"Warm absorbers" and "-mirrors": one and the same gas?
Matteo Guainazzi, Stefano Bianchi
We review the main properties of "warm mirrors" in obscured AGN, and discuss whether the scattering gas could be also responsible for "warm absorbers" commonly observed in unobscur…
The properties of unobscured AGN observed by XMM-Newton
Stefano Bianchi, Matteo Guainazzi, Giorgio Matt +1
Multiwavelength analysis on large samples of AGN provides an excellent tool to understand the physics of these objects. We present the largest catalog of XMM-Newton targeted AGN, a…
Search for narrow energy-shifted lines in XMM-Newton AGN spectra
A. L. Longinotti, S. Bianchi, M. Guainazzi +2
The detection of X-ray narrow spectral features in the 5-7 keV band is becoming increasingly more common in AGN observations, thanks to the capabilities of current X-ray satellites…
Monte Carlo Predictions of Far-Infrared Emission from Spiral Galaxies
S. Bianchi, J. I. Davies, P. B. Alton
We present simulations of Far Infrared (FIR) emission by dust in spiral galaxies, based on the Monte Carlo radiative transfer code of Bianchi, Ferrara & Giovanardi (1996). The radi…
