Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping Project. X. Understanding the Absorption-Line Holiday in NGC 5548
M. Dehghanian, G. J. Ferland, G. A. Kriss +27
The flux variations in the emission lines in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are driven by variations in the ionizing continuum flux --which are usually reflected in the observable U…
Photoionized emission and absorption features in the high-resolution X-ray spectra of NGC 3783
Junjie Mao, M. Mehdipour, J. S. Kaastra +14
Our Swift monitoring program triggered two joint XMM-Newton, NuSTAR and HST observations on 11 and 21 December 2016 targeting NGC 3783, as its soft X-ray continuum was heavily obsc…
The First Swift Intensive AGN Accretion Disk Reverberation Mapping Survey
R. Edelson, J. Gelbord, E. Cackett +32
Swift intensive accretion disk reverberation mapping of four AGN yielded light curves sampled 200-350 times in 0.3-10 keV X-ray and six UV/optical bands. Uniform reduction an…
HST/COS observations of the newly discovered obscuring outflow in NGC 3783
G. A. Kriss, M. Mehdipour, J. S. Kaastra +24
To understand the nature of transient obscuring outflows in active galactic nuclei, we observed the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 3783 on two occasions in December 2016 triggered by Swift m…
Probing the nature and origin of dust in the reddened quasar IC 4329A with global modelling from X-ray to infrared
Missagh Mehdipour, Elisa Costantini
Cosmic dust is a key tracer of structure formation and evolution in the universe. In active galactic nuclei (AGN) the origin and role of dust are uncertain. Here, we have studied d…
Detection of polarized gamma-ray emission from the Crab nebula with Hitomi Soft Gamma-ray Detector
Hitomi Collaboration, Felix Aharonian, Hiroki Akamatsu +191
We present the results from the Hitomi Soft Gamma-ray Detector (SGD) observation of the Crab nebula. The main part of SGD is a Compton camera, which in addition to being a spectrom…
