X-ray/UV/optical variability of NGC 4593 with Swift: Reprocessing of X-rays by an extended reprocessor

I M McHardy, S D Connolly, K Horne E M Cackett +25

We report the results of intensive X-ray, UV and optical monitoring of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 4593 with Swift. There is no intrinsic flux-related spectral change in the the varia…

Possible range of viscosity parameter to trigger black hole candidates to exhibit different states of outbursts

Santanu Mondal, Sandip K. Chakrabarti, Shreeram Nagarkoti +1

In a two component advective flow around a compact object, a high viscosity Keplerian disk is flanked by a low angular momentum and low viscosity flow which forms a centrifugal pre…

Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping Project. VII. Understanding the UV anomaly in NGC 5548 with X-Ray Spectroscopy

S. Mathur, A. Gupta, K. Page +147

During the Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping Project (STORM) observations of NGC 5548, the continuum and emission-line variability became de-correlated during the s…

Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping Project. V. Optical Spectroscopic Campaign and Emission-Line Analysis for NGC 5548

L. Pei, M. M. Fausnaugh, A. J. Barth +153

We present the results of an optical spectroscopic monitoring program targeting NGC 5548 as part of a larger multi-wavelength reverberation mapping campaign. The campaign spanned s…

Growing supermassive black holes in the late stages of galaxy mergers are heavily obscured

C. Ricci., F. E. Bauer, E. Treister +10

Mergers of galaxies are thought to cause significant gas inflows to the inner parsecs, which can activate rapid accretion onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs), giving rise to Acti…
