X-Ray Polarization from the Atoll 4U 1735-44 Suggests a Low Inclination

M. A. Díaz Teodori, A. Bobrikova, A. Gnarini +17

X-ray polarimetry is a new tool capable of probing the geometry of accretion onto weakly magnetized neutron stars. Here we present the first X-ray spectropolarimetric results from…

High-energy neutrinos from the vicinity of the supermassive black hole in NGC 1068

P. Padovani, E. Resconi, M. Ajello +12

We present a comprehensive multi-messenger study of NGC 1068, the prototype Seyfert II galaxy recently associated with high-energy IceCube neutrinos. Various aspects of the source,…

X-Ray Detection of the Galaxy's Missing Baryons in the Circum-Galactic Medium of L Galaxies

Fabrizio Nicastro, Yair Krongold, Taotao Fang +10

The amount of baryons hosted in the disks of galaxies is lower than expected based on the mass of their dark-matter halos and the fraction of baryon-to-total matter in the universe…

The weak neutral Fe fluorescence line and long-term X-ray evolution of the Compton-thick AGN in NGC 7674

P. Gandhi, A. Annuar, G. B. Lansbury +26

We present X-ray observations of the active galactic nucleus (AGN) in NGC 7674. The source shows a flat X-ray spectrum, suggesting that it is obscured by Compton-thick gas…

The bolometric luminosity of type 2 AGN from extinction-corrected [OIII]: no evidence for Eddington-limited sources

A. Lamastra, S. Bianchi, G. Matt +3

There have been recent claims that a significant fraction of type 2 AGN accrete close or even above the Eddington limit. In type 2 AGN the bolometric luminosity (L_b) is generally…
