Structure of the Circumnuclear Region of Seyfert 2 Galaxies Revealed by RXTE Hard X-ray Observations of NGC 4945

G. M. Madejski, P. T. Zycki, C. Done +4

We report the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer observations of the heavily absorbed Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 4945, which confirm the large column density of the absorber, corresponding to t…

BeppoSAX observations of Mkn 3: Piercing through the torus of a Seyfert 2 galaxy

M. Cappi, L. Bassani, A. Comastri +15

A new BeppoSAX broad-band (0.6-150 keV) spectrum of the Seyfert 2 galaxy Mkn 3 is presented. The spectrum provides a direct measurement of a large, neutral column of gas with Nh~10…
