The X-Ray Luminosity Function of Active Galactic Nuclei
We derive an X-ray luminosity function for active galactic nuclei (AGN) that accounts for the X-ray source counts in the 0.5-2.0 and 2-10 keV energy ranges, the redshift distribution of AGNs in the ROSAT Deep Survey (RDS), as well as the X-ray background (XRB) from 1-10 keV.

X-Ray Constraints on Wandering Black Holes in Stripped Galaxy Nuclei in the Halo of NGC 5128
A subset of galaxies have dense nuclei, and when these galaxies are accreted and tidally stripped, the nuclei can masquerade as globular clusters in the halos of large galaxies.

Hydrogen Column Density Variability in a Sample of Local Compton-thin AGN II
We present the multiepoch analysis of 13 variable, nearby ( z ≲ 0.1), and Compton-thin (10 ^22 < N _H < 1.5 × 10 ^24 cm ^−2 ) active galactic nuclei (AGN) selected from the 105-month BAT catalog.
