Kepler Observations of Rapid Optical Variability in Active Galactic Nuclei
Richard F. Mushotzky, Rick Edelson, Wayne H. Baumgartner +1
Over three quarters in 2010-2011, Kepler monitored optical emission from four active galactic nuclei (AGN) with ~30 min sampling, >90% duty cycle, and <~0.1% repeatability. These d…
Angular correlation functions of X-ray point-like sources in the full exposure XMM-LSS field
A. Elyiv, N. Clerc, M. Plionis +8
Our aim is to study the large-scale structure of different types of AGN using the medium-deep XMM-LSS survey. We measure the two-point angular correlation function of ~ 5700 and 25…
Can we measure the accretion efficiency of Active Galactic Nuclei?
S. I. Raimundo, A. C. Fabian, R. V. Vasudevan +2
The accretion efficiency for individual black holes is very difficult to determine accurately. There are many factors that can influence each step of the calculation, such as the d…
A late jet rebrightening revealed from multi-wavelength monitoring of the black hole candidate XTE J1752-223
D. M. Russell, P. A. Curran, T. Muñoz-Darias +15
We present optical monitoring of the black hole candidate XTE J1752-223 during its 2009 - 2010 outburst and decay to quiescence. The optical light curve can be described by an expo…
Diffraction-limited Subaru imaging of M82: sharp mid-infrared view of the starburst core
P. Gandhi, N. Isobe, M. Birkinshaw +4
We present new imaging at 12.81 and 11.7 microns of the central ~40"x30" (~0.7x0.5 kpc) of the starburst galaxy M82. The observations were carried out with the COMICS mid-infrared…
