High-energy monitoring of NGC 4593 II. Broadband spectral analysis: testing the two-corona model
R. Middei, S. Bianchi, P. -O. Petrucci +9
It is widely believed that the primary X-ray emission of AGN is due to the Comptonisation of optical-UV photons from a hot electron corona, while the origin of the 'soft-excess' is…
A deep X-ray view of the bare AGN Ark 120. VI. Geometry of the hot corona from spectroscopic and polarization signatures
A. Marinucci, D. Porquet, F. Tamborra +9
The spectral shape of the hard X-ray continuum of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) can be ascribed to inverse Compton scattering of optical/UV seed photons from the accretion disc by a…
A receding torus model for the Iwasawa-Taniguchi effect for Compton-thick AGN
Giorgio Matt, Kazushi Iwasawa
Recently, Boorman et al. (2018) reported on the discovery of the Iwasawa-Taniguchi (I-T) effect (a.k.a. X-ray Baldwin effect) for Compton-thick AGN. They measured a decrease of the…
MoCA: A Monte Carlo code for Comptonisation in Astrophysics. I. Description of the code and first results
Francesco Tamborra, Giorgio Matt, Stefano Bianchi +1
We present a new Monte Carlo code for Comptonisation in Astrophysics (MoCA). To our knowledge MoCA is the first code that uses a single photon approach in a full special relativity…
Tracking the Iron K line and the Ultra Fast Outflow in NGC 2992 at different accretion states
A. Marinucci, S. Bianchi, V. Braito +3
The Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 2992 has been monitored eight times by XMM-Newton in 2010 and then observed again in 2013, while in 2015 it was simultaneously targeted by Swift and NuSTAR…
Radio/X-ray monitoring of the broad-line radio galaxy 3C 382. High-energy view with XMM-Newton and NuSTAR
F. Ursini, P. -O. Petrucci, G. Matt +14
We present the analysis of five joint XMM-Newton/NuSTAR observations, 20 ks each and separated by 12 days, of the broad-line radio galaxy 3C 382. The data were obtained as part of…
