On the low detection efficiency of disk water megamasers in Seyfert 2 AGN

Alberto Masini, Andrea Comastri

Disk megamasers are a unique tool to study active galactic nuclei (AGN) sub-pc environment, and precisely measure some of their fundamental parameters. While the majority of disk m…

Investigating the evolution of the dual AGN system ESO~509-IG066

P. Kosec, M. Brightman, D. Stern +13

We analyze the evolution of the dual AGN in ESO 509-IG066, a galaxy pair located at z=0.034 whose nuclei are separated by 11 kpc. Previous observations with XMM-Newton on this dual…

NuSTAR Resolves the First Dual AGN above 10 keV in SWIFT J2028.5+2543

Michael J. Koss, Ana Glidden, Mislav Balokovic +19

We have discovered heavy obscuration in the dual active galactic nucleus (AGN) in the Swift/Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) source SWIFT J2028.5+2543 using Nuclear Spectroscopic Telesc…

The NuSTAR Serendipitous Survey: Hunting for The Most Extreme Obscured AGN at >10 keV

G. B. Lansbury, D. M. Alexander, J. Aird +27

We identify sources with extremely hard X-ray spectra (i.e., with photon indices of Gamma<0.6 in the 13 sq. deg. NuSTAR serendipitous survey, to search for the most highly obscured…

X-ray bolometric corrections for Compton-thick active galactic nuclei

M. Brightman, M. Baloković, D. R. Ballantyne +16

We present X-ray bolometric correction factors, (), for Compton-thick (CT) active galactic nuclei (AGN) with the aim of testing AGN torus models, prob…
