BeppoSAX observations of Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 galaxies:I. Ton S 180

A. Comastri, F. Fiore, M. Guainazzi +10

We report on the first spectrum up to 10 keV of the bright narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy Ton S 180, obtained with the imaging instruments onboard BeppoSAX. This is the first observe…

The Optical Polarization and Warm Absorber in IRAS 17020+4544

Karen M. Leighly, Laura E. Kay, Beverley J. Wills +2

We report the detection of ionized absorption in the ASCA spectrum of the narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy IRAS 17020+4544. Subsequent optical spectropolarimetry revealed high polariza…

Evidence for Relativistic Outflows in Narrow-line Seyfert 1 Galaxies

Karen M. Leighly, Richard F. Mushotzky, Kirpal Nandra +1

We report the observation of features near 1 keV in the ASCA spectra from three ``Narrow Line Seyfert 1'' (NLS1) galaxies. We interpret these as oxygen absorption in a highly relat…

X-ray Observations of the Broad-Line Radio Galaxy 3C 390.3

Karen M. Leighly, Paul T. O'Brien, Rick Edelson +5

We present the data and preliminary analysis for a series of 90 ROSAT HRI and two ASCA observations of the broad-line radio galaxy 3C 390.3. These data were obtained during the per…

Evidence for Nonlinear X-ray Variability from the Broad-line Radio Galaxy 3C 390.3

K. M. Leighly, Paul T. O'Brien

We present analysis of the light curve from the ROSAT HRI monitoring observations of the broad-line radio galaxy 3C 390.3. Observed every three days for about 9 months, this is the…

AGN Watch Continuum Monitoring of Radio-quiet and Radio-loud AGN

Paul T. O'Brien, Karen M. Leighly

The International AGN Watch has monitored a number of radio-quiet and radio-loud Active Galactic Nuclei - the most luminous objects in the universe. We present a review of the main…
