An XMM-Newton Study of Six Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 Galaxies at z = 0.35--0.92

Zhibo Yu, Jiachen Jiang, Cosimo Bambi +5

We report a detailed analysis of the XMM-Newton spectra of six Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) galaxies at redshift z = 0.35--0.92. Compared with the NLS1s at lower redshift in the pr…

Localised thermonuclear bursts from accreting magnetic white dwarfs

S. Scaringi, P. J. Groot, C. Knigge +16

Nova explosions are caused by global thermonuclear runaways triggered in the surface layers of accreting white dwarfs. It has been predicted that localised thermonuclear bursts on…

Flux-density measurements of the high-redshift blazar PSO J047.4478+27.2992 at 4.7 and 8.2 GHz with RATAN-600

T. Mufakharov, A. Mikhailov, Yu. Sotnikova +5

We report the first detection at 4.7 and 8.2 GHz with the RATAN-600 radio telescope of the source PSO J047.4478+27.2992, which has been announced as a blazar at z=6.1. The average…

An Obscured, Seyfert-2-like State of the Stellar-mass Black Hole GRS 1915+105 Caused by Failed Disk Winds

J. M. Miller, A. Zoghbi, J. Raymond +13

We report on Chandra gratings spectra of the stellar-mass black hole GRS 1915+105 obtained during a novel, highly obscured state. As the source entered this state, a dense, massive…

Swift Spectroscopy of the Accretion Disk Wind in the Black Hole GRO J1655-40

M. Balakrishnan, J. M. Miller, N. Trueba +6

Chandra obtained two High Energy Transmission Grating (HETG) spectra of the stellar-mass black hole GRO J1655-40 during its 2005 outburst, revealing a rich and complex disk wind. S…

Chandra X-Ray Spectroscopy of the Focused Wind in the Cygnus X-1 System. II. The Nondip Spectrum in the Low/Hard State - Modulations with Orbital Phase

Ivica Miškovičová, Natalie Hell, Manfred Hanke +14

The accretion onto the black hole in the system HDE 226868/Cygnus X-1 is powered by the strong line driven stellar wind of the O-type donor star. We study the X-ray properties of t…
