Crepuscular Rays from the Highly Inclined Active Galactic Nucleus in IC 5063
W. Peter Maksym, Judy Schmidt, William C. Keel +10
On Earth near sunset, the sun may cast "crepuscular rays" such that clouds near the horizon obscure the origin of light scattered in bright rays. In principle, AGN should be able t…
A Giant Loop of Ionized Gas Emerging from the Tumultuous Central Region of IC 5063
W. Peter Maksym, Giuseppina Fabbiano, Martin Elvis +6
The biconical radiation pattern extending from an active galactic nucleus (AGN) may strongly photoionize the circumnuclear interstellar medium (ISM) and stimulate emission from the…
Spatially resolved BPT mapping of nearby Seyfert 2 galaxies
Jingzhe Ma, W. Peter Maksym, G. Fabbiano +5
We present spatially resolved BPT mapping of the extended narrow line regions (ENLRs) of seven nearby Seyfert 2 galaxies, using HST narrow band filter imaging. We construct the BPT…
Is extended hard X-ray emission ubiquitous in Compton-thick AGN?
Jingzhe Ma, Martin Elvis, G. Fabbiano +4
The recent Chandra discovery of extended kpc-scale hard ( 3 keV) X-ray emission in nearby Compton-thick (CT) active galactic nuclei (AGN) opens a new window to improving A…
Chandra Observations of NGC 7212: Large-scale Extended Hard X-ray Emission
Mackenzie L. Jones, G. Fabbiano, Martin Elvis +5
Recent observations of nearby Compton thick (CT) active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with Chandra have resolved hard (>3 keV) X-ray emission extending out from the central supermassive b…
