A Novel Approach in Constraining Electron Spectra in Blazar Jets: The Case of Markarian 421

M. Ushio, L. Stawarz, T. Takahashi +7

We report results from the observations of the well studied TeV blazar Mrk 421 with the Swift and the Suzaku satellites in December 2008. During the observation, Mrk 421 was found…

Simultaneous Multiwavelength observation of Mkn 501 in a low state in 2006

The MAGIC Collaboration, H. Anderhub, R. Sato +4

We present results of the multiwavelength campaign on the TeV blazar Mkn 501 performed in 2006 July, including MAGIC for the VHE gamma-ray band and Suzaku for the X-ray band. A VHE…

Probing the Disk-jet Connection of the Radio Galaxy 3C120 Observed with Suzaku

Jun Kataoka, James N. Reeves, Kazushi Iwasawa +13

Broad line radio galaxies (BLRGs) are a rare type of radio-loud AGN, in which the broad optical permitted emission lines have been detected in addition to the extended jet emission…

Revealing the High Energy Emission from the Obscured Seyfert Galaxy MCG -5-23-16 with Suzaku

James N. Reeves, Hisamitsu Awaki, Gulab C. Dewangan +19

We report on a 100 ks Suzaku observation of the bright, nearby (z=0.008486) Seyfert 1.9 galaxy MCG -5-23-16. The broad-band (0.4-100 keV) X-ray spectrum allows us to determine the…

Suzaku observations of the hard X-ray variability of MCG-6-30-15: the effects of strong gravity around a Kerr black hole

Giovanni Miniutti, Andrew C. Fabian, Naohisa Anabuki +21

Suzaku has, for the first time, enabled the hard X-ray variability of the Seyfert 1 galaxy MCG-6-30-15 to be measured. The variability in the 14-45 keV band, which is dominated by…
