X-ray grating spectroscopy as a mission enhancement

Hans Moritz Guenther, Ehud Behar, Joel N. Bregman +27

We propose to add instruments to any potential future X-ray mission with focussing optics that is considered in NASA's ASTRA framework. Such an instrument is a necessity to study A…

A magnetically-supported disk-corona model for Changing-Look AGN transitions

Marios Kouzis, Agata Różańska, Debora Lančová +2

Changing-Look Active Galactic Nuclei (CLAGN) undergo dramatic spectral and luminosity transitions on timescales of months to a few years -- orders of magnitude shorter than the vis…

Changing Look AGN: A study of Optical/UV and the Highly Ionized Fe K X-ray Line Flux Variations Using Photo-Ionization Simulations

Tek P. Adhikari, Santanu Mondal, Zhicheng He +2

Significant variability in broad emission line strengths of active galactic nuclei (AGN) over months to years has been observed, often accompanied by intrinsic continuum changes. S…

Markarian 590: The AGN Awakens

Biswaraj Palit, Marzena Śniegowska, Alex Markowitz +3

Changing-Look AGN (CLAGN) Mkn 590 recently underwent a sudden re-ignition, marked by substantial increases in optical/UV and X-ray continuum flux since last couple of years. Swift-…

X-ray view of dissipative warm corona in active galactic nuclei

B. Palit, A. Rozanska, P. O. Petrucci +8

In the X-ray spectra of AGNs, a noticeable excess of soft X-rays is typically detected beyond the extrapolation of the power-law trend observed between 2-10 keV. In the scenario of…

Influence of the gravitational darkening effect on the spectrum of a hot, rapidly rotating neutron star. II. Iron lines

Agnieszka Majczyna, Jerzy Madej, Agata Różańska +1

Rapidly rotating neutron stars are similar to highly flattened ellipsoids. Observed spectra of flattened stars must exhibit effects of non spherical shape and the gravitational dar…
