A XRISM view of the iron line complex in NGC 1068: Rethinking the prototypical Compton-thick AGN

S. Bianchi, B. Vander Meulen, E. Bertola +32

We analyze a XRISM/Resolve observation of NGC1068, focusing on the Fe K and Fe K fluorescent lines and on the Fe XXV and Fe XXVI emission complexes. Line centroid energies, i…

X-ray polarization in radio-quiet AGN: Insights from the wedge corona model using Monte Carlo simulations

D. Tagliacozzo, S. Bianchi. V. Gianolli, A. Gnarini +4

In this study, we present novel calculations of X-ray polarization from radio-quiet and unobscured active galactic nuclei (AGNs) using the Monte Carlo code MONK, which includes all…

Unveiling the reflection spectrum in the ultracompact LMXB 4U 1820-30

A. Anitra, A. Gnarini, T. Di Salvo +12

4U 1820-30 is a ultracompact X-ray binary located in the globular cluster NGC 6624, consisting of a neutron star accreting material from a helium white dwarf companion characterize…

X-ray spectropolarimetry of the bright atoll Serpens X-1

F. Ursini, A. Gnarini, S. Bianchi +11

We present simultaneous X-ray polarimetric and spectral observations of the bright atoll source Ser~X-1 carried out with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE), NICER, and N…

A second view on the X-ray polarization of NGC 4151 with IXPE

V. E. Gianolli, S. Bianchi, E. Kammoun +21

We report on the second observing program of the active galactic nucleus NGC 4151 with simultaneous Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE; {\sim}750 ks), NuSTAR ({\sim}60 ks), X…

X-ray view of dissipative warm corona in active galactic nuclei

B. Palit, A. Rozanska, P. O. Petrucci +8

In the X-ray spectra of AGNs, a noticeable excess of soft X-rays is typically detected beyond the extrapolation of the power-law trend observed between 2-10 keV. In the scenario of…
