Coronal Properties of the Seyfert 1.9 Galaxy MCG -05-23-016 Determined from Hard X-ray Spectroscopy with NuSTAR

M. Baloković, G. Matt, F. A. Harrison +15

Measurements of the high-energy cut-off in the coronal continuum of active galactic nuclei have long been elusive for all but a small number of the brightest examples. We present a…

The hard X-ray spectrum of NGC 5506 as seen by NuSTAR

G. Matt, M. Balokovic, A. Marinucci +12

NuSTAR observed the bright Compton-thin, narrow line Seyfert 1 galaxy, NGC 5506, for about 56 ks. In agreement with past observations, the spectrum is well fit by a power law with…

The Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 2110: hard X-ray emission observed by NuSTAR and variability of the iron K line

A. Marinucci, G. Matt, S. Bianchi +16

We present NuSTAR observations of the bright Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 2110 obtained in 2012, when the source was at the highest flux level ever observed, and in 2013, when the source w…

NuSTAR Spectroscopy of Multi-Component X-ray Reflection from NGC 1068

Franz E. Bauer, Patricia Arevalo, Dominic J. Walton +26

We report on observations of NGC1068 with NuSTAR, which provide the best constraints to date on its ~keV spectral shape. We find no strong variability over the past two decade…

Early-time polarized optical light curve of GRB 131030A

O. G. King, D. Blinov, D. Giannios +23

We report the polarized optical light curve of a gamma-ray burst afterglow obtained using the RoboPol instrument. Observations began 655 seconds after the initial burst of gamma-ra…

The NuSTAR View of Nearby Compton-thick AGN: The Cases of NGC 424, NGC 1320 and IC 2560

M. Baloković, A. Comastri, F. A. Harrison +25

We present X-ray spectral analyses for three Seyfert 2 active galactic nuclei, NGC 424, NGC 1320, and IC 2560, observed by NuSTAR in the 3-79 keV band. The high quality hard X-ray…

NuSTAR Reveals the Comptonizing Corona of the Broad-Line Radio Galaxy 3C 382

D. R. Ballantyne, J. M. Bollenbacher, L. W. Brenneman +14

Broad-line radio galaxies (BLRGs) are active galactic nuclei that produce powerful, large-scale radio jets, but appear as Seyfert 1 galaxies in their optical spectra. In the X-ray…

Observations of MCG-5-23-16 with Suzaku, XMM-Newton and NuSTAR: Disk tomography and Compton hump reverberation

A. Zoghbi, E. M. Cackett, C. Reynolds +12

MCG-5-23-16 is one of the first AGN where relativistic reverberation in the iron K line originating in the vicinity of the supermassive black hole was found, based on a short XMM-N…
