The Soft-Excess in Mrk 509: Warm Corona or Relativistic Reflection?

Javier A. Garcia, Erin Kara, Dominic Walton +15

We present the analysis of the first NuSTAR observations ( ks), simultaneous with the last SUZAKU observations ( ks), of the active galactic nucleus of the brigh…

A NICER Discovery of a Low-Frequency Quasi-Periodic Oscillation in the Soft-Intermediate State of MAXI J1535-571

A. L. Stevens, P. Uttley, D. Altamirano +17

We present the discovery of a low-frequency Hz quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) feature in observations of the black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1535-571 in its soft-inte…

The first tidal disruption flare in ZTF: from photometric selection to multi-wavelength characterization

Sjoert van Velzen, Suvi Gezari, S. Bradley Cenko +37

We present Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) observations of the tidal disruption flare AT2018zr/PS18kh reported by Holoien et al. and detected during ZTF commissioning. The ZTF ligh…

Constraining the geometry of AGN outflows with reflection spectroscopy

M. L. Parker, D. J. K. Buisson, J. Jiang +4

We collate active galactic nuclei (AGN) with reported detections of both relativistic reflection and ultra-fast outflows. By comparing the inclination of the inner disc from reflec…

The 1.5 Ms Observing Campaign on IRAS 13224-3809: X-ray Spectral Analysis I

J. Jiang, M. L. Parker, A. C. Fabian +16

We present a detailed spectral analysis of the recent 1.5\,Ms XMM-Newton observing campaign on the narrow line Seyfert 1 galaxy IRAS~132243809, taken simultaneously with 500\,ks…

X-ray Reverberation Mapping and Dramatic Variability of Seyfert 1 Galaxy 1H 1934-063

Sara E. Frederick, Erin Kara, Christopher S. Reynolds +2

A fraction of active galactic nuclei (AGN) exhibit dramatic variability, which is observed on timescales down to minutes in the X-ray band. We introduce the case study of 1H 1934-0…
