First M87 Event Horizon Telescope Results. I. The Shadow of the Supermassive Black Hole
The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration
When surrounded by a transparent emission region, black holes are expected to reveal a dark shadow caused by gravitational light bending and photon capture at the event horizon. To…
Resolving the cosmic X-ray background with a next-generation high-energy X-ray observatory
R. C. Hickox, F. Civano, D. R. Ballantyne +16
The cosmic X-ray background (CXB), which peaks at an energy of ~30 keV, is produced primarily by emission from accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs). The CXB therefore serves…
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…
The NuSTAR Serendipitous Survey: The 40 month Catalog and the Properties of the Distant High Energy X-ray Source Population
G. B. Lansbury, D. Stern, J. Aird +35
We present the first full catalog and science results for the NuSTAR serendipitous survey. The catalog incorporates data taken during the first 40 months of NuSTAR operation, which…
On the black hole mass of the gamma-ray emitting narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy 1H 0323+342
H. Landt, M. J. Ward, M. Balokovic +6
Narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies have been identified by the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope as a rare class of gamma-ray emitting active galactic nuclei (AGN). The lowest-redshift c…
RoboPol: The optical polarization of gamma-ray--loud and gamma-ray--quiet blazars
E. Angelakis, T. Hovatta, D. Blinov +25
We present average R-band optopolarimetric data, as well as variability parameters, from the first and second RoboPol observing season. We investigate whether gamma- ray--loud and…
