Untangling the Complex Nature of AGN Variability with Fairall 9
Scott Hagen, Chris Done, Edward M. Cackett +5
The accretion flow in AGN is not well understood, motivating intensive monitoring campaigns of multiwavelength variability to probe its structure. One of the best of these is the 3…
Infrared-Selected Active Galactic Nuclei in the Kepler Fields
Tran Tsan, Matthew Malkan, Rick Edelson +3
We utilized the Edelson and Malkan (2012) and Stern et al. (2012) selection techniques and other methods to identify AGN candidates that were monitored during the Kepler prime and…
Testing X-ray Reprocessing and Mapping the Soft Excess of NGC 7469 with NICER
Ethan R. Partington, Edward M. Cackett, Rick Edelson +5
We present an X-ray/UV reverberation analysis of NGC 7469 across 210 days, using daily NICER observations with contemporaneous monitoring by Swift UVOT+XRT. We model the X-ray spec…
Connecting the X-ray/UV variability of Fairall 9 with NICER: A Possible Warm Corona
Ethan R. Partington, Edward M. Cackett, Rick Edelson +7
The Seyfert 1 AGN Fairall 9 was targeted by NICER, Swift, and ground-based observatories for a 1000-day long reverberation mapping campaign. The following analysis of NICER s…
