Pan-STARRS1 variability of XMM-COSMOS AGN. II. Physical correlations and power spectrum analysis
T. Simm, M. Salvato, R. Saglia +4
[Abbreviated] We search for scaling relations between the fundamental AGN parameters and rest-frame UV/optical variability properties for a sample of 90 X-ray selected AGNs c…
Tracing the reverberation lag in the hard state of black hole X-ray binaries
B. De Marco, G. Ponti, T. Muñoz-Darias +1
We report results obtained from a systematic analysis of X-ray lags in a sample of black hole X-ray binaries, with the aim of assessing the presence of reverberation lags and study…
The evolution of the disc variability along the hard state of the black hole transient GX 339-4
B. De Marco, G. Ponti, T. Muñoz-Darias +1
We report on the analysis of hard-state power spectral density function (PSD) of GX 339-4 down to the soft X-ray band, where the disc significantly contributes to the total emissio…
The XMM-Newton view of the central degrees of the Milky Way
G. Ponti, M. R. Morris, R. Terrier +10
The deepest XMM-Newton mosaic map of the central 1.5 deg of the Galaxy is presented, including a total of about 1.5 Ms of EPIC-pn cleaned exposures in the central 15" and about 200…
Sco X-1 revisited with Kepler, MAXI and HERMES: outflows, time-lags and echoes unveiled
S. Scaringi, T. J. Maccarone, R. I. Hynes +5
Sco X-1 has been the subject of many multi-wavelength studies in the past, being the brightest persistent extra-solar X-ray source ever observed. Here we revisit Sco X-1 with simul…
A tidal disruption flare in a massive galaxy? Implications for the fuelling mechanisms of nuclear black holes
A. Merloni, T. Dwelly, M. Salvato +6
We argue that the `changing look' AGN recently reported by LaMassa et al. could be a luminous flare produced by the tidal disruption of a super-solar mass star passing just a few g…
