The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We report on the 2019 XMM-Newton+NuSTAR monitoring campaign of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 2992, observed at one of its highest flux levels in the X-rays.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 “Changing-look active galactic nuclei” (CLAGNs) are known to change their apparent types between types 1 and 2, usually accompanied by a drastic change in their luminosity on timescales of years.

Clustering of X-ray selected active galactic nuclei [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1998 A total of 235 Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) from two different soft X-ray surveys (the ROSAT Deep Survey -DRS- and the ROSAT International X-ray Optical Survey -RIXOS-) with redshifts between 0 and 3.5 are used to study the clustering of X-ray selected AGN and its evolution.

X-Ray Observations of Active Galactic Nuclei [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1983 HEAO 1 A2 and Einstein SSS spectral observations of Seyfert galaxies and BL Lac objects suggest that in both cases, the X-ray emission is due to relativistic particles. The five BL Lac objects have very soft spectra and at higher energies (above 10 keV) may have hard tails.

X-Ray Variability of Active Galactic Nuclei [PDF]
Highlights of Astronomy, 1983 X-ray variability of active galactic nuclei is commonplace on scales from days to years. It also occurs, although rarely, on time scales as short as 200 seconds. Both these statements must be strongly qualified by the irregularity and insensitivity of the available observations. In the X-rays we expect that we are seeing deep within the active nucleus,

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Above ∼3 keV, the X-ray spectrum of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is characterized by the intrinsic continuum and Compton reflection features. For type-1 AGNs, several regions may contribute to the reflection.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 To understand the formation and growth of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and their coevolution with host galaxies, it is essential to know the impact of environment on the activity of active galactic nuclei (AGNs).

X-Rays from Active Galactic Nuclei [PDF]
Highlights of Astronomy, 1983 Recent X-ray observations of active galactic nuclei and Seyfert galaxies in particular are briefly reviewed. The application of the efficiency limit to rapidly varying luminous sources such as NGC 6814 is discussed. It is argued that the variability and probable MeV spectral turnover imply that most of the electrons which radiate the observed flux are ...

X-rays from active galactic nuclei
The Astrophysical Journal, 1981 Through detailed numerical calculations, we have shown that production of thermal photons at the self-absorbed cyclotron higher harmonics and Comptonization of those soft photons in a hot plasma with the electron temperature 10/sup 9/ K provide a natural mechanism to account for the dominant observed features of the X-ray emission in the active ...

Soft X-ray active galactic nuclei
The Astrophysical Journal, 1984 The discovery of 10 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) based upon optical observations of Einstein Observatory X-ray sources is reported. The new objects are optically similar to AGNs that have been identified by others with this technique. One notable exception, the quasar E1821 + 643, is associated with a previously unidentified X-ray source detected with
