Extreme X - ray spectral variability in the Seyfert 2 Galaxy NGC 1365
We present multiple Chandra and XMM-Newton observations of the type 1.8 Seyfert Galaxy NGC 1365, which shows the most dramatic X-ray spectral changes observed so far in an AGN: the source switched from reflection dominated to transmission dominated and back in just 6 weeks. During this time the soft thermal component, arising from a ∼ 1 kpc region around the center, remained constant. The refle...
متن کاملX-ray Spectral Variability in Ngc
NGC 3783 was observed for approximately 210 ks by Suzaku and in this time showed significant spectral and flux variability at both short (20 ks) and long (100 ks) timescales. The full observation is found to consist of approximately six “spectral periods” where the behavior of the soft (0.3–1.0 keV) and hard (2–10 keV) bands are somewhat distinct. Using a variety of methods we find that the str...
متن کاملLong-term X-ray Spectral Variability in Seyfert 1 Galaxies
Direct time-resolved spectral fitting has been performed on continuous RXTE monitoring of seven Seyfert 1 galaxies in order to study their broadband spectral variability and Fe Kα variability characteristics on time scales of days to years. Variability in the Fe Kα line is not detected in some objects but is present in others, e.g., in NGC 3516, NGC 4151 and NGC 5548 there are systematic decrea...
متن کاملUltraviolet and X-ray variability of NGC 4051 over 45 days with XMM–Newton and Swift
We analyse 15 XMM–Newton observations of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 4051 obtained over 45 d to determine the ultraviolet (UV) light curve variability characteristics and search for correlated UV/X-ray emission. The UV light curve shows variability on all time-scales, however with lower fractional rms than the 0.2–10 keV X-rays. On days–weeks time-scales the fractional variability of the UV is Fvar ...
متن کاملX - ray observations of NGC 1365 : time - resolved eclipse of the X - ray source
We present an extraordinary variation of the X-ray spectrum of the obscured AGN in NGC 1365, which was observed by Chandra to change from Compton-thin to Compton-thick and back to Compton-thin in four days. This fast variation imply a a size of ∼ 10 14 cm for the emitting region, and an extremely compact size (∼ 10 16 cm) of the clumpy circumnuclear absorber.
