Clustering of X-ray selected active galactic nuclei [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly 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.

The distribution of galactic neighbours of X-ray-selected active galactic nuclei

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
ABSTRACT We combine X-ray data from the X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission 12th data release (4XMM DR12) and the extended ROentgen Survey with an Imaging Telescope Array (eROSITA) Final Equatorial-Depth Survey (eFEDS) early data release catalogues with the Galaxy and Mass Assembly spectroscopic galaxy survey to form a sample of 526 local ($0.05 ...

X-Ray Eclipses of Active Galactic Nuclei [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2017
Abstract X-ray variation is a ubiquitous feature of active galactic nuclei (AGNs); however, its origin is not well understood. In this paper, we show that the X-ray flux variations in some AGNs, and correspondingly, the power spectral densities (PSDs) of the variations, may be interpreted as being caused by absorptions of eclipsing ...

Rapid X-Ray Variability in Active Galactic Nuclei [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1986
SummaryRecent EXOSAT observations of active galactic nuclei are presented. Unlike earlier X-ray satellites (all of which flew in low earth orbit), the deep orbit of EXOSAT allows long continuous observations of celestial X-ray sources, uninterrupted by earth occultation etc.

The Lively Accretion Disk in NGC 2992. III. Tentative Evidence of Rapid Ultrafast Outflow Variability

open access: yesThe 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.

X-Ray Variability of Active Galactic Nuclei [PDF]

open access: yesHighlights 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,

Narrow Fe–Kα Reverberation Mapping Unveils the Deactivated Broad-line Region in a Changing-look Active Galactic Nucleus

open access: yesThe 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.
