The curious activity in the nucleus of NGC 4151: jet interaction causing variability?

D. R. A. Williams, R. D. Baldi, I. M. McHardy +14

A key characteristic of many active galactic nuclei (AGN) is their variability, but its origin is poorly understood, especially in the radio domain. Williams et al. (2017) reported…

X-ray reverberation lags from the 1.5 Seyfert galaxy NGC 5273

F. M. Vincentelli, G. Mastroserio, I. Mc Hardy +2

We present the results of X-ray spectral-timing analysis of a 90ks XMM-Newton observation of the nearby, broad line, early-type AGN NGC5273. The X-ray spectrum revealed the clear p…

AstroSat and Chandra view of the high soft state of 4U 1630-47 (4U 1630-472): evidence of the disk wind and a rapidly spinning black hole

Mayukh Pahari, Sudip Bhattacharyya, A R Rao +8

We present the X-ray spectral and timing analysis of the transient black hole X-ray binary 4U 1630-47, observed with the AstroSat, Chandra and MAXI space missions during its soft X…

X-ray/UV/optical variability of NGC 4593 with Swift: Reprocessing of X-rays by an extended reprocessor

I M McHardy, S D Connolly, K Horne E M Cackett +25

We report the results of intensive X-ray, UV and optical monitoring of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 4593 with Swift. There is no intrinsic flux-related spectral change in the the varia…

Furiously Fast and Red: Sub-second Optical Flaring in V404 Cyg during the 2015 Outburst Peak

P. Gandhi, S. P. Littlefair, L. K. Hardy +25

We present observations of rapid (sub-second) optical flux variability in V404 Cyg during its 2015 June outburst. Simultaneous three-band observations with the ULTRACAM fast imager…
