Winds in ultraluminous X-ray sources: new challenges
Ciro Pinto, Peter Kosec
Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are extreme X-ray binaries shining above 10^39 erg/s, in most cases as a consequence of super-Eddington accretion onto neutron stars and stellar-…
The Athena X-ray Integral Field Unit: a consolidated design for the system requirement review of the preliminary definition phase
Didier Barret, Vincent Albouys, Jan-Willem den Herder +296
The Athena X-ray Integral Unit (X-IFU) is the high resolution X-ray spectrometer, studied since 2015 for flying in the mid-30s on the Athena space X-ray Observatory, a versatile ob…
Detection of an Unidentified Soft X-ray Emission Feature in NGC 5548
Liyi Gu, Junjie Mao, Jelle S. Kaastra +17
NGC~5548 is an X-ray bright Seyfert 1 active galaxy. It exhibits a variety of spectroscopic features in the soft X-ray band, including in particular the absorption by the AGN outfl…
X-ray spectra of the Fe-L complex III: systematic uncertainties in the atomic data
Liyi Gu, Chintan Shah, Junjie Mao +14
There has been a growing request from the X-ray astronomy community for a quantitative estimate of systematic uncertainties originating from the atomic data used in plasma codes. T…
Evolution of a Relativistic Outflow and X-ray Corona in the Extreme Changing-Look AGN 1ES 1927+654
Megan Masterson, Erin Kara, Claudio Ricci +8
1ES 1927+654 is a paradigm-defying AGN and one of the most peculiar X-ray nuclear transients. In early 2018, this well-known AGN underwent a changing-look event, in which broad opt…
Transient obscuration event captured in NGC 3227 III. Photoionization modeling of the X-ray obscuration event in 2019
Junjie Mao, J. S. Kaastra, M. Mehdipour +16
A growing number of transient X-ray obscuration events in type I AGN suggest that our line-of-sight to the central engine is not always free. Multiple X-ray obscuration events have…
