Resolving the cosmic X-ray background with a next-generation high-energy X-ray observatory
R. C. Hickox, F. Civano, D. R. Ballantyne +16
The cosmic X-ray background (CXB), which peaks at an energy of ~30 keV, is produced primarily by emission from accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs). The CXB therefore serves…
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…
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…
