Discovery of a Luminosity-dependent Continuum Lag in NGC 4151 from Photometric and Spectroscopic Continuum Reverberation Mapping
Hai-Cheng Feng, Sha-Sha Li, Mouyuan Sun +17
Accretion onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs) powers active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and drives feedback that shapes galaxy evolution. Constraining AGN accretion disk structure is…
How the spin-phase variability of cyclotron lines shapes the pulsed fraction spectra: insights from 4U 1538-52
Dimitrios K. Maniadakis, Ekaterina Sokolova-Lapa, Antonino D'Aì +15
We study the energy-dependent pulse profile of 4U 1538-52 and its phase-dependent spectral variability, with emphasis on the behavior around the cyclotron resonant scattering featu…
The X-ray Integral Field Unit at the end of the Athena reformulation phase
Philippe Peille, Didier Barret, Edoardo Cucchetti +279
The Athena mission entered a redefinition phase in July 2022, driven by the imperative to reduce the mission cost at completion for the European Space Agency below an acceptable ta…
Energy-resolved pulse profile changes in V 0332+53: Indications of wings in the cyclotron absorption line profile
Antonino D'Aì, Dimitrios K. Maniadakis, Carlo Ferrigno +15
We aim to investigate the energy-resolved pulse profile changes of the accreting X-ray pulsar V 0332+53, focusing in the cyclotron line energy range, using the full set of availabl…
