Time Delays in Cosmic Ray Propagation
Cosmic Rays (CR) travel at speeds essentially indistinguishable from the speed of light. However whilst travelling through magnetic fields, both regular and turbulent, they are delayed behind the light since they are usually charged particles and their paths are not linear. Those delays can be so long that they are an impediment to correctly identifying sources which may be variable in time. Fu...
متن کاملRelativistic iron K X-ray reverberation in NGC 4151
Recent X-ray observations have enabled the study of reverberation delays in active galactic nuclei (AGN) for the first time. All the detections so far are in sources with a strong soft excess, and the measured delay is between the hard (1–3 keV) direct continuum and the soft excess (0.5–1 keV), interpreted as the reflection continuum smeared by relativistic effects. There is however an inherent...
متن کاملOn Time-dependent X-ray Reflection by Photoionized Accretion Disks: Implication for Fe Kα Line Reverberation Studies of Agn
We perform a first study of time-dependent X-ray reflection in photo-ionized accretion disks. We assume a step-functional change in the X-ray flux and use a simplified prescription to describe the time evolution of the illuminated gas density profile in response to changes in the flux. We find that the dynamical time for re-adjustment of the hydrostatic balance is an important relaxation time s...
متن کاملThe X-ray spectral properties of X-ray selected AGN : ROSAT spectra of EMSS AGN
Using a sample of 63 AGNs extracted from the Einstein Extended Medium Sensitivity Survey (EMSS), we study the X-ray spectral properties of X-ray selected AGN in the 0.1−2.4 keV ROSAT band. These objects are all the EMSS AGN detected with more than 300 net counts in ROSAT PSPC images available from the public archive (as of May 31, 1995). A Kolmogorov-Smirnov test on the redshift and luminosity ...
