Constraining black hole spin in PG 1535+547 amidst complex multi-layered absorption

A. Madathil-Pottayil, D. J. Walton, Jiachen Jiang +7

We present a spectroscopic analysis of XMM-Newton and NuSTAR observations of the 'complex' NLS1 PG 1535+547 at redshift . These observations span three epochs: 2002 and 20…

Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 Galaxies Beyond the Local X-ray Universe: An X-ray spectral sample

Jiachen Jiang, Dominic J. Walton, Luigi C. Gallo +8

Narrow-line Seyfert 1 AGNs (NLS1s) represent a unique stage in the black hole growth history, characterised by low black hole masses of approximately - solar masses…

The Origin of the X-ray Emission from the Non-Starburst Gas-Rich Luminous Infrared Galaxies Arp 302

Jiachen Jiang, William Baker, Andrew Young +1

We present an analysis of the XMM-Newton observation of luminous infrared merging galaxies Arp 302 and a joint re-analysis of its Chandra observation. In particular, we focus on th…

Systematically Revisiting All NuSTAR Spins of Black Holes in X-Ray Binaries

Paul A. Draghis, Jon M. Miller, Elisa Costantini +4

We extend our recent work on black hole spin in X-ray binary systems to include an analysis of 189 archival NuSTAR observations from 24 sources. Using self-consistent data reductio…

Characterizing X-ray, UV, and optical variability in NGC 6814 using high-cadence Swift observations from a 2022 monitoring campaign

Adam G. Gonzalez, Luigi C. Gallo, Jon M. Miller +3

We present the first results of a high-cadence Swift monitoring campaign ( visits per day for days) of the Seyfert 1.5 galaxy NGC 6814 characterizing its variability thro…

A re-emerging bright soft-X-ray state of the changing-look Active Galactic Nucleus 1ES~1927+654: a multi-wavelength view

Ritesh Ghosh, Sibasish Laha, Eileen Meyer +24

1ES1927+654 is a nearby active galactic nucleus that has shown an enigmatic outburst in optical/UV followed by X-rays, exhibiting strange variability patterns at timescales of mont…
