The X-ray Polarization View of Mrk~421 in an Average Flux State as Observed by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer

Laura Di Gesu, Immacolata Donnarumma, Fabrizio Tavecchio +100

Particle acceleration mechanisms in supermassive black hole jets, such as shock acceleration, magnetic reconnection, and turbulence, are expected to have observable signatures in t…

Transient obscuration event captured in NGC 3227. I. Continuum model for the broadband spectral energy distribution

M. Mehdipour, G. A. Kriss, J. S. Kaastra +21

From Swift monitoring of a sample of active galactic nuclei (AGN) we found a transient X-ray obscuration event in Seyfert-1 galaxy NGC 3227, and thus triggered our joint XMM-Newton…

Multi-wavelength campaign on NGC 7469 V. Analysis of the HST/COS observations: Super solar metallicity, distance, and trough variation models

N. Arav, X. Xu, G. A. Kriss +18

Aims. Our aim is to determine the distance of the UV outflow components from the central source, their abundances and total column density, and the mechanism responsible for their…

Multi-wavelength Campaign on NGC 7469 VI. Photoionisation Modelling of the Emission Line Regions and the Warm Absorber

S. Grafton-Waters, G. Branduardi-Raymont, M. Mehdipour +16

Aims. We aim to investigate and characterise the photoionised X-ray emission line regions within NGC 7469. Methods. We apply the photoionisation model, PION, within the spectral fi…

Photoionized emission and absorption features in the high-resolution X-ray spectra of NGC 3783

Junjie Mao, M. Mehdipour, J. S. Kaastra +14

Our Swift monitoring program triggered two joint XMM-Newton, NuSTAR and HST observations on 11 and 21 December 2016 targeting NGC 3783, as its soft X-ray continuum was heavily obsc…

Recurring obscuration in NGC 3783

J. S. Kaastra, M. Mehdipour, E. Behar +14

Obscuration of the continuum emission from active galactic nuclei by streams of gas with relatively high velocity (> 1000 km/s) and column density (>3E25 per m2) has been seen in a…
