The remarkable X-ray variability of IRAS 13224-3809 I: The variability process
W. N. Alston, A. C. Fabian, D. J. K. Buisson +17
We present a detailed X-ray timing analysis of the highly variable NLS1 galaxy, IRAS 13224-3809. The source was recently monitored for 1.5 Ms with XMM-Newton which, combined with 5…
