Supermassive Black Hole Winds in X-rays -- SUBWAYS. VI. Interplay between the soft X-ray excess and ultra-fast outflows
V. E. Gianolli, P-O. Petrucci, S. Bianchi +42
We present a broadband, multiwavelength study of the interplay between the soft X-ray excess (SE), ultra-fast outflows (UFOs), and warm absorbers (WAs) in 21 active galactic nuclei…
X-ray Absorption Variability in NGC 1142: Another Constraint on the Nature of the Torus/Broad-Line Region in Active Galactic Nuclei
Isaiah S. Cox, Núria Torres-Albà, Stefano Marchesi +5
The physics, geometry, and kinematics of the gas and dust surrounding the central engine of active galactic nuclei (AGN) are not well understood. In some sources, this material obs…
The hidden variability of the torus in local Active Galactic Nuclei: 20 years of Chandra, XMM-Newton, and NuSTAR observations
Vittoria Elvezia Gianolli, Nuria Torres-Alba, Stefano Marchesi +9
X-ray absorption variability in active galactic nuclei (AGN) provides key constraints on the structure and dynamics of the circumnuclear obscuring medium, the so-called torus. A fr…
Transient Relativistic Iron Emission Line from an X-ray Flaring Supermassive Black Hole
Xiurui Zhao, Marco Ajello, Francesca Civano +16
We report the discovery of the first transient relativistic iron Kα line in an Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) J1047+5907. The line was detected 21.5 days (rest-frame) after an X-ray…
The Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS) Community Science Book
Michael Koss, Nafisa Aftab, Steven W. Allen +395
The AXIS Community Science Book represents the collective effort of 592 scientists worldwide to define the transformative science enabled by the Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (A…
Unveiling Obscured Accretion in the Local Universe
Indrani Pal, Stefano Marchesi, Ross Silver +9
Heavily obscured Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), especially Compton-thick sources with line-of-sight column density () 10 cm, are critical to underst…
BASS. XLIX. Characterization of highly luminous and obscured AGNs: local X-ray and [NeV]3426 emission in comparison with the high-redshift Universe
Alessandro Peca, Michael J. Koss, Kyuseok Oh +21
We present a detailed analysis of the most luminous and obscured Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) detected in the ultra-hard X-ray band (14-195 keV) by Swift/BAT. Our sample comprises…
Contemporaneous X-ray and Optical Polarization of EHSP Blazar H 1426+428
Anuvab Banerjee, Akash Garg, Divya Rawat +17
We present the first contemporaneous X-ray and optical polarimetric measurement of the extremely high synchrotron peaked (EHSP) blazar H 1426+428. The X-ray polarimetric observatio…
Swift-XRT and NuSTAR Monitoring of Obscuration Variability in Mrk 477
N. Torres-Albà, Z. Hu, I. Cox +6
We present the analysis of 15 X-ray observations of Mrk 477, a nearby Seyfert 2 active galactic nucleus, with the objective to monitor its obscuring column density variability. The…
A Multi-Wavelength Characterization of the Obscuring Medium at the Center of NGC 6300
D. Sengupta, N. Torres-Albà, A. Pizzetti +9
Most of the super-massive black holes in the Universe accrete material in an obscured phase. While it is commonly accepted that the "dusty torus" is responsible for the nuclear obs…
An X-ray Significantly Variable, Luminous, Type 2 Quasar at z = 2.99 with a Massive Host Galaxy
