High-Frequency Power Spectrum of AGN NGC 4051 Revealed by NICER

B. Rani, Jungeun Kim, I. Papadakis +6

Variability studies offer a compelling glimpse into black hole dynamics, and NICER's (Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer) remarkable temporal resolution propels us even fur…

Long-term hard X-ray variability properties of Swift-BAT blazars

Sergio Mundo, Richard Mushotzky

We present results from the first dedicated study in the time domain of the hard X-ray variability behavior of blazars on long timescales based on 13 years of continuous hard…

Hard X-ray emission in Centaurus A

B. Rani, S. A. Mundo, R. Mushotzky +3

We used 13 years of Swift/BAT observations to probe the nature and origin of hard X-ray (14-195 KeV) emission in Centaurus A. Since the beginning of the Swift operation in 2004, si…

Fundamental X-ray Corona Parameters of Swift/BAT AGN

Jason T. Hinkle, Richard Mushotzky

While X-ray emission from active galactic nuclei (AGN) is common, the detailed physics behind this emission is not well understood. This is in part because high quality broadband s…

X-ray Constraints on Accretion and Starburst Processes in Galactic Nuclei I. Spectral Results

A. Ptak, P. Serlemitsos, T. Yaqoob +1

The results of a 0.4-10.0 keV ASCA spectral analysis of a sample of low-luminosity AGN (LLAGN; M51, NGC 3147, NGC 4258), low-ionization nuclear emission line regions (LINERs; NGC 3…

X-ray Variability as a Probe of Advection-Dominated Accretion in Low-Luminosity AGN

A. Ptak, T. Yaqoob, R. Mushotzky +2

As a class, LINERs and Low-Luminosity AGN tend to show little or no significant short-term variability (i.e., with time-scales less than a day). This is a marked break for the tren…
