Sudden emergence of a low-frequency hard X-ray lag in the Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk 1044

Jia-Lai Kang, Jun-Xian Wang

Hard X-ray lags, where low frequency variations in the hard X-ray band lag behind those in the soft band, have been detected in many active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and are generally…

A UV to X-Ray View of Soft Excess in Type 1 Active Galactic Nuclei. II. Broadband Correlations

Shi-Jiang Chen, Jun-Xian Wang, Jia-Lai Kang +5

The physical origin of soft X-ray excess (SE) is a long lasting question, with two prevailing theories -- ``warm corona'' and ``ionized reflection'' -- dominating the discussion. I…

Element nucleosynthetic origins from abundance spatial distributions beyond the Milky Way

Zefeng Li, Mark R. Krumholz, Anna F. McLeod +7

An element's astrophysical origin should be reflected in the spatial distribution of its abundance, yielding measurably different spatial distributions for elements with different…

The Average Soft X-ray Spectra of eROSITA Active Galactic Nuclei

Shi-Jiang Chen, Johannes Buchner, Teng Liu +16

Context. AGNs are strong X-ray emitters shaped by disk-corona interactions. The soft excess (0.5-2.0 keV) reveals key information about the "warm corona" bridging the disk and hot…

Disk-jet coupling across the spectral transition in supermassive black holes

Jia-Lai Kang, Chris Done, Scott Hagen +5

Accretion flows in both stellar and supermassive black holes show a distinct spectral transition. This is seen directly in binaries and changing look AGN, and also in a recent samp…

A UV to X-ray view of soft excess in type 1 AGNs: I. sample selection and spectral profile

Shi-Jiang Chen, Jun-Xian Wang, Jia-Lai Kang +5

A core sample of 59 unobscured type 1 AGNs with simultaneous XMM-Newton X-ray and UV observations is compiled from archive to probe the nature of soft X-ray excess (SE). In the fir…

Systematic collapse of the accretion disc in AGN confirmed by UV photometry and broad line spectra

Jia-Lai Kang, Chris Done, Scott Hagen +4

A recent study on the spectral energy distribution (SED) of AGN combined unobscured X-ray sources from the eROSITA eFEDS Survey with high quality optical imaging from Subaru's Hype…

Integrated Study of X-ray Spectrum and Time Lags for HBL Mrk 421 within the Framework of the Multiple-Zone Leptonic Model

Wen Hu, Jia-Lai Kang, Zhen-Yi Cai +3

We present the timing analysis of 10 archived \XMM observations with an exposure of ks of Markarian 421. Mrk 421 is the brightest high-frequency-peaked BL Lac object (HBL) em…
