The X-Ray Spectra of Active Galactic Nuclei

Physica Scripta, 1984
Recent observations of the X-ray spectra of active galactic nuclei are reviewed. After an outline of the properties of these sources deduced from observations at other wavelengths, the relevance of X-ray spectra to our understanding of the X-ray emission mechanisms and of the ultimate source of energy is discussed.

X-rays from active galactic nuclei ? Hard component

Space Science Reviews, 1981
It is now well known that X-ray emission in active galactic nuclei (AGN) is a fairly common phenomenon (see M.J. Rees’s review in this volume). By examining the recent observational information from Ariel V, HEAO-1, and the Einstein Observatory, we have reached the conclusion (Tsuruta 1981) that the following interpretation may be used as a relevant ...

Limits of X-ray variability in active galactic nuclei

Nature, 1986
A significant correlation is demonstrataed here between the X-ray luminosity and the timescale of X-ray variability for Seyfert galaxies and quasars. This is interpreted as evidence that the emitting plasma is near the limit of being dominated by electron-positron pairs.

The X-ray variability of active galactic nuclei

2008
Recent results relating to the X-ray variability exhibited by active galactic nuclei are reviewed. EXOSAT observations have established, contrary to earlier indications, that X-ray variability on a timescale of an hour or less is a relatively common feature of such sources.

X-Ray Variability in Active Galactic Nuclei

1998
X-ray variability is a distinguishing property of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), and the energetics and time scales of the emission dictate that the X-rays must originate very close to the central engine. In this review I discuss two basic topics from AGN variability research.

X-Ray Spectra of Active Galactic Nuclei

1980
There are a variety of galaxies which are classified as nuclearactive, ranging from those which have nuclei which are merely distinguishable from a stellar component all the way to QSO’s. The subject of this lecture will be only those extreme cases (Seyfert I, BL Lac and quasar) which constitute the most intense compact X-ray sources which are ...
