PACHA: Probing AGN Coronae with High-redshift AGN
Xiurui Zhao, Elias Kammoun, Marco Ajello +18
The X-ray emission of active galactic nuclei (AGN) is generally attributed to inverse Compton scattering of accretion-disk photons by hot electrons in a compact corona. In local AG…
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…
XRISM/Resolve reveals the complex iron structure of NGC 7213: Evidence for radial stratification between inner disk and broad-line region
E. Kammoun, T. Kawamuro, K. Murakami +48
We present the first high-resolution X-ray spectrum of NGC 7213 obtained with XRISM/Resolve, supported by simultaneous XMM-Newton, NuSTAR, and SOAR optical data. The XRISM spectrum…
The 2025 Failed Outburst of IGR J17091-3624: Spectral Evolution and the Role of Ionized Absorbers
Oluwashina K. Adegoke, Javier A. Garcia, Guglielmo Mastroserio +15
IGR J17091-3624 is the only black hole X-ray binary candidate, aside from the well-studied black hole system GRS 1915+105, observed to exhibit a wide range of structured variabilit…
An Intermediate Mass Black Hole Hidden Behind Thick Obscuration
Peter G. Boorman, Daniel Stern, Roberto J. Assef +12
Recent models suggest approximately half of all accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs; 10 M) are expected to undergo intense growth phase…
Characterizing the Broadband Reflection Spectrum of MAXI J1803-298 During its 2021 Outburst with NuSTAR and NICER
Oluwashina Adegoke, Javier Garcia, Riley Connors +12
MAXI J1803-298 is a transient black hole candidate discovered in May of 2021 during an outburst that lasted several months. Multiple X-ray observations reveal recurring "dipping" i…
