The NuSTAR Extragalactic Survey: Average broad-band X-ray spectral properties of the NuSTAR detected AGN

A. Del Moro, D. M. Alexander, J. A. Aird +18

We present a study of the average X-ray spectral properties of the sources detected by the NuSTAR extragalactic survey, comprising observations of the E-CDFS, EGS and COSMOS fields…

The NuSTAR Serendipitous Survey: Hunting for The Most Extreme Obscured AGN at >10 keV

G. B. Lansbury, D. M. Alexander, J. Aird +27

We identify sources with extremely hard X-ray spectra (i.e., with photon indices of Gamma<0.6 in the 13 sq. deg. NuSTAR serendipitous survey, to search for the most highly obscured…

Galactic Sources Detected in the NuSTAR Serendipitous Survey

John A. Tomsick, George B. Lansbury, Farid Rahoui +13

The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) provides an improvement in sensitivity at energies above 10 keV by two orders of magnitude over non-focusing satellites, making i…

Observational constraints on the specific accretion-rate distribution of X-ray selected AGN

A. Georgakakis, J. Aird, A. Schulze +5

This paper estimates the specific accretion-rate distribution of AGN using a sample of 4821 X-ray sources from both deep and shallow surveys. The specific accretion-rate distributi…

X-rays across the galaxy population - II. The distribution of AGN accretion rates as a function of stellar mass and redshift

James Aird, Alison L. Coil, Antonis Georgakakis

We use deep Chandra X-ray imaging to measure the distribution of specific black hole accretion rates ( relative to the stellar mass of the galaxy) and thus trace AGN activity…
