On the cosmic evolution of AGN obscuration and the X-ray luminosity function: XMM-Newton and Chandra spectral analysis of the 31.3 deg Stripe 82X

Alessandro Peca, Nico Cappelluti, Meg Urry +11

We present X-ray spectral analysis of XMM and Chandra observations in the 31.3 deg Stripe-82X (S82X) field. Of the 6181 X-ray sources in this field, we analyze a sample of 2937…

Constraining the X-ray reflection in low accretion rate AGN using XMM-Newton, NuSTAR and Swift

Y. Díaz, L. Hernández-García, P. Arévalo +8

An interesting feature in active galactic nuclei (AGN) accreting at low rate is the weakness of the reflection features in their X-ray spectra, which can result from the gradual di…

BASS XXXIII: Swift-BAT blazars and their jets through cosmic time

L. Marcotulli, M. Ajello, C. M. Urry +13

We derive the most up-to-date Swift-Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) blazar luminosity function in the 14-195 keV range, making use of a clean sample of 118 blazars detected in the BAT…

Physically motivated X-ray obscurer models

Johannes Buchner, Murray Brightman, Mislav Baloković +3

The nuclear obscurer of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) is poorly understood in terms of its origin, geometry and dynamics. We investigate whether physically motivated geometries emer…

The infrared to X-ray correlation spectra of unobscured type 1 active galactic nuclei

I. García-Bernete, C. Ramos Almeida, H. Landt +3

We use new X-ray data obtained with the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR), near-infrared (NIR) fluxes, and mid-infrared (MIR) spectra of a sample of 24 unobscured type…

A search for spectral hysteresis and energy-dependent time lags from X-ray and TeV gamma-ray observations of Mrk 421

A. U. Abeysekara, S. Archambault, A. Archer +220

Blazars are variable emitters across all wavelengths over a wide range of timescales, from months down to minutes. It is therefore essential to observe blazars simultaneously at di…
