Persistence of the Millihertz X-ray Quasi-Periodic Oscillation in the Active Galactic Nucleus 1ES 1927+654
Megan Masterson, Erin Kara, William N. Alston +15
1ES 1927+654 is an extreme active galactic nucleus (AGN) that has defied our canonical expectations for how AGN appear across the electromagnetic spectrum and how they vary on shor…
A New Broadband Spectral State in the Ultraluminous X-ray Source Holmberg IX X-1
D. J. Walton, M. Bachetti, P. Kosec +12
We present a series of five new broadband X-ray observations of the ultraluminous X-ray source Holmberg IX X-1, performed by - and in coordination. The first…
The Broadband View of the Bare Seyfert PG 1426+015: Relativistic Reflection, the Soft Excess and the Importance of Oxygen
D. J. Walton, A. Madathil-Pottayil, P. Kosec +8
We present results from a deep, coordinated - + observation of the type 1 Seyfert PG 1426+015, a source of particular interest as the most massive reverberati…
Millihertz Oscillations Near the Innermost Orbit of a Supermassive Black Hole
Megan Masterson, Erin Kara, Christos Panagiotou +22
Recent discoveries from time-domain surveys are defying our expectations for how matter accretes onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs). The increased rate of short-timescale, repet…
Effects of ultra-fast outflows on X-ray time lags in AGN
Yerong Xu, Ciro Pinto, Erin Kara +3
The time lag between soft and hard X-ray photons has been observed in many active galactic nuclei (AGN) and can reveal the accretion process and geometry around supermassive black…
Exploring the high-density reflection model for the soft excess in RBS 1124
A. Madathil-Pottayil, D. J. Walton, Javier GarcÃa +13
'Bare' active galactic nuclei (AGN) are a subclass of Type 1 AGN that show little or no intrinsic absorption. They offer an unobscured view of the central regions of the AGN and th…
