IC 3639 - A new bona fide Compton thick AGN unveiled by NuSTAR
Peter G. Boorman, P. Gandhi, D. Alexander +19
We analyse high-quality NuSTAR observations of the local (z = 0.011) Seyfert 2 active galactic nucleus (AGN) IC 3639, in conjunction with archival Suzaku and Chandra data. This pro…
The Phoenix galaxy as seen by NuSTAR
A. Masini, A. Comastri, S. Puccetti +18
Aims. We study the long-term variability of the well-known Seyfert 2 galaxy Mrk 1210 (a.k.a. UGC 4203, or the Phoenix galaxy). Methods. The source was observed by many X-ray facili…
A growth-rate indicator for Compton-thick active galactic nuclei
M. Brightman, A. Masini, D. R. Ballantyne +10
Due to their heavily obscured central engines, the growth rate of Compton-thick (CT) active galactic nuclei (AGN) is difficult to measure. A statistically significant correlation b…
The weak neutral Fe fluorescence line and long-term X-ray evolution of the Compton-thick AGN in NGC 7674
P. Gandhi, A. Annuar, G. B. Lansbury +26
We present X-ray observations of the active galactic nucleus (AGN) in NGC 7674. The source shows a flat X-ray spectrum, suggesting that it is obscured by Compton-thick gas…
NuSTAR reveals the extreme properties of the super-Eddington accreting SMBH in PG 1247+267
G. Lanzuisi, M. Perna, A. Comastri +26
PG1247+267 is one of the most luminous known quasars at and is a strongly super-Eddington accreting SMBH candidate. We obtained NuSTAR data of this intriguing source in De…
NuSTAR observations of water megamaser AGN
A. Masini, A. Comastri, M. Baloković +18
Aims. Study the connection between the masing disk and obscuring torus in Seyfert 2 galaxies. Methods. We present a uniform X-ray spectral analysis of the high energy properties of…
