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…

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…

Classifying AGN by X-ray Hardness Variability

Uria Peretz, Ehud Behar

The physics behind the dramatic and unpredictable X-ray variability of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) has eluded astronomers since it was discovered. We present an analysis of Swift…

Recurring obscuration in NGC 3783

J. S. Kaastra, M. Mehdipour, E. Behar +14

Obscuration of the continuum emission from active galactic nuclei by streams of gas with relatively high velocity (> 1000 km/s) and column density (>3E25 per m2) has been seen in a…

Multi-wavelength campaign on NGC 7469: III. Spectral energy distribution and the AGN wind photoionisation modelling, plus detection of diffuse X-rays from the starburst with Chandra HETGS

M. Mehdipour, J. S. Kaastra, E. Costantini +15

We investigate the physical structure of the AGN wind in the Seyfert-1 galaxy NGC 7469 through high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy with Chandra HETGS and photoionisation modelling.…

Multi-wavelength campaign on NGC 7469 IV. The broad-band X-ray spectrum

R. Middei, S. Bianchi, M. Cappi +17

We conducted a multi-wavelength six-month campaign to observe the Seyfert galaxy NGC~7469, using the space-based observatories \textit{HST}, \textit{Swift}, \textit{XMM-Newton} and…
