Relativistic Broadening of Iron Emission Lines in a Sample of AGN
Laura W. Brenneman, Christopher S. Reynolds
We present a uniform X-ray spectral analysis of eight type-1 active galactic nuclei (AGN) that have been previously observed with relativistically broadened iron emission lines. Ut…
Constraints on the absorption-dominated model for the X-ray spectrum of MCG-6-30-15
Christopher S. Reynolds, Andrew C. Fabian, Laura W. Brenneman +3
Complexities in the X-ray spectrum of the nearby Seyfert 1.2 galaxy MCG-6-30-15 are commonly interpreted in terms of a broad iron line and the associated Compton reflection hump fr…
Spectral Analysis of the Accretion Flow in NGC 1052 with Suzaku
L. W. Brenneman, K. A. Weaver, M. Kadler +10
We present an analysis of the 101 ks, 2007 Suzaku spectrum of the LINER galaxy NGC 1052. The 0.5-10 keV continuum is well-modeled by a power-law modified by Galactic and intrinsic…
Spin and Relativistic Phenomena Around Black Holes
L. Brenneman, J. M. Miller, K. Nandra +13
Since the seminal work of Penrose (1969) and Blandford & Znajek (1977), it has been realized that black hole spin may be an important energy source in astrophysics. The radio-loud/…
