X-ray view of dissipative warm corona in active galactic nuclei
B. Palit, A. Rozanska, P. O. Petrucci +8
In the X-ray spectra of AGNs, a noticeable excess of soft X-rays is typically detected beyond the extrapolation of the power-law trend observed between 2-10 keV. In the scenario of…

Unveiling Energy Pathways in AGN Accretion Flows with the Warm Corona Model for the Soft Excess
D. R. Ballantyne, V. Sudhakar, D. Fairfax +9
The soft excess in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) may arise through a combination of relativistic reflection and the effects of a warm corona at the surface of the accretion disc. D…
