The High Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P): Bringing the Cosmic X-ray Background into Focus

Francesca Civano, Xiurui Zhao, Peter Boorman +29

Since the discovery of the cosmic X-ray background (CXB), astronomers have strived to understand the accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs) contributing to its peak in the 10-4…

The High Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P): The Circum-nuclear Environment of Growing Supermassive Black Holes

P. G. Boorman, N. Torres-Albà, A. Annuar +32

Ever since the discovery of the first Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), substantial observational and theoretical effort has been invested into understanding how massive black holes ha…

Compton-thick AGN in the NuSTAR Era X: Analysing seven local CT-AGN candidates

Dhrubojyoti Sengupta, Stefano Marchesi, Cristian Vignali +14

We present the broad-band X-ray spectral analysis (0.6-50 keV) of seven Compton-Thick active galactic nuclei (CT-AGN; line-of-sight, l.o.s., column density cm) ca…

A New Mid-Infrared and X-ray Machine Learning Algorithm to Discover Compton-thick AGN

Ross Silver, Núria Torres-Alba, Xiurui Zhao +4

We present a new method to predict the line-of-sight column density (NH) values of active galactic nuclei (AGN) based on mid-infrared (MIR), soft, and hard X-ray data. We developed…

A Simple Method for Predicting Variability in Active Galactic Nuclei

Isaiah Cox, Nuria Torres-Alba, Stefano Marchesi +4

The unified model of active galactic nuclei (AGN) includes a toroidal obscuring structure to explain the differences between Type I and Type II AGN as an effect of inclination angl…

Hydrogen Column Density Variability in a Sample of Local Compton-Thin AGN

N. Torres-Albà, S. Marchesi, X. Zhao +4

We present the analysis of multiepoch observations of a set of 12 variable, Compton-thin, local (z<0.1) active galactic nuclei (AGN) selected from the 100-month BAT catalog. We ana…
