X-ray spectral and flux variability of the microquasar GRS 1758-258 on timescales from weeks to years
Maria Hirsch, Katja Pottschmidt, David M. Smith +12
We present the spectral and timing evolution of the persistent black hole X-ray binary GRS 1758-258 based on almost 12 years of observations using the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer P…
Discovery of an X-ray Quasar Wind Driving the Cold Gas Outflow in the Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxy IRAS F05189-2524
Robyn N. Smith, Francesco Tombesi, Sylvain Veilleux +2
We present new XMM-Newton and NuSTAR observations of the galaxy merger IRAS F05189-2524 which is classified as an ultra-luminous infrared galaxy (ULIRG) and optical Seyfert 2 at $z…
The nature of the broadband X-ray variability in the dwarf Seyfert galaxy NGC 4395
E. S. Kammoun, E. Nardini, A. Zoghbi +14
We present a flux-resolved X-ray analysis of the dwarf Seyfert 1.8 galaxy NGC 4395, based on three archival and one archival observations. The source is known…
A hard look at NGC 5347: revealing a nearby Compton-thick AGN
E. S. Kammoun, J. M. Miller, A. Zoghbi +11
Current measurements show that the observed fraction of Compton-thick (CT) AGN is smaller than the expected values needed to explain the cosmic X-ray background. Prior fits to the…
Probing the Physical Properties of the Corona in Accreting Black Holes
Nikita Kamraj, Andrew Fabian, Anne Lohfink +3
The corona is a key component of most luminous accreting black holes, carrying 5 - 30 % of the power and in non-jetted Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), creating all the X-ray emission…
Experimental Relativity with Accretion Disk Observations
Alejandro Cardenas-Avendano, Jaxen Godfrey, Nicolas Yunes +1
Electromagnetic observations have been used over the past decades to understand the nature of black holes and the material around them. Our ability to learn about the fundamental p…
