Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are powered by energetic phenomena which cannot be attributed to stars. LINERs appears to be the low power end of the AGN sequence...
One of the most important features in active galactic nuclei (AGN) is the variability of their emission. Variability has been discovered at X-ray, UV, and radio...
We have performed a uniform analysis of the power spectrum densities (PSDs) of 104 nearby (z ~= 2 × 10-4 Hz. Only KUG 1031+398 (RE J1034+396) shows evidence for...
X-ray variability of 104 active galactic nuclei. XMM-Newton power-spectrum density profiles
Context. Active galactic nuclei (AGN), powered by accretion onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs), are thought to be scaled up versions of Galactic black hole X...
X-ray-selected broad absorption line quasi-stellar objects
We study a sample of six X-ray-selected broad absorption line (BAL) quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) from the XMM-Newton Wide Angle Survey. All six objects are...
XMM-Newton and Chandra measurements of the AGN intrinsic absorption: dependence on luminosity and redshift
We combine bright XMM-Newton data with the Chandra Deep Field South observations to explore the behavior of the intrinsic AGN absorption, as a function of...
XMM-Newton observations of the Lockman Hole IV: spectra of the brightest AGN
This paper presents the results of a detailed X-ray spectral analysis of a sample of 123 X-ray sources detected with XMM-Newton in the Lockman Hole field. This...
XMM-Newton observations of the Lockman Hole. III. A relativistic Fe line in the mean X-ray spectra of type-1 and type-2 AGN
Using the 770 ks XMM-Newton survey of the Lockman Hole field in combination with extensive optical identifications of the AGN population, we derive an average...
