Wavelength Dependences of the Optical/UV and X-ray Luminosity Correlations of Quasars

Chichuan Jin, Elisabeta Lusso, Martin Ward +2

The inter-band correlations between optical/UV and X-ray luminosities of active galactic nuclei (AGN) are important for understanding the disc-coronal connection, as well as using…

The X-ray luminous galaxies optically classified as star forming are mostly narrow line Seyfert 1s

N. Castelló-Mor, X. Barcons, L. Ballo +3

We aim to characterize the nature of galaxies whose optical emission line diagnostics are consistent with star formation, but whose X-ray properties strongly point towards the pres…

A multiwavelength view of the flaring state of PKS 2155-304 in 2006

HESS Collaboration, A. Abramowski, F. Acero +208

Multiwavelength (MWL) observations of the blazar PKS 2155-304 during two weeks in July and August 2006, the period when two exceptional flares at very high energies (VHE, E>= 100 G…

On the nature of high X-ray luminosities in SDSS galaxies

F. E. Jackson, T. P. Roberts, D. M. Alexander +5

Surveys have revealed a class of object displaying both high X-ray luminosities (Lx > 10^42 erg/s), and a lack of a discernible active galactic nucleus (AGN) in the optical band. I…

Discovery of hard-spectrum γ-ray emission from the BL Lac object 1ES 0414+009

The HESS Collaboration, A. Abramowski, F. Acero +199

1ES 0414+009 (z = 0.287) is a distant high-frequency-peaked BL Lac object, and has long been considered a likely emitter of very-high energy (VHE, E>100 GeV) gamma-rays due to its…

Discovery of extended VHE γ-ray emission from the vicinity of the young massive stellar cluster Westerlund 1

HESS Collaboration, A. Abramowski, F. Acero +198

Results obtained in very-high-energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) γ-ray observations performed with the H.E.S.S. telescope array are used to investigate particle acceleration processes in th…

(No) dynamical constraints on the mass of the black hole in two ULXs

T. P. Roberts, J. C. Gladstone, A. D. Goulding +4

We present the preliminary results of two Gemini campaigns to constrain the mass of the black hole in an ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) via optical spectroscopy. Pilot studies of…

Discovery of VHE gamma-rays from the BL Lac object PKS 0548-322

H. E. S. S. collaboration, :, F. Aharonian +168

PKS 0548-322 (z=0.069) is a ``high-frequency-peaked'' BL Lac object and a candidate very high energy (VHE, E>100 GeV) gamma-ray emitter, due to its high X-ray and radio flux. Obser…

VHE gamma-ray emission of PKS 2155-304: spectral and temporal variability

HESS Collaboration, A. Abramowski, F. Acero +185

Observations of very high energy gamma-rays from blazars provide information about acceleration mechanisms occurring in their innermost regions. Studies of variability in these obj…

First detection of VHE gamma-rays from SN 1006 by H.E.S.S

HESS Collaboration, F. Acero, F. Aharonian +175

Recent theoretical predictions of the lowest very high energy (VHE) luminosity of SN 1006 are only a factor 5 below the previously published H.E.S.S. upper limit, thus motivating f…
