NuSTAR and XMM-Newton observations of NGC 1365: Extreme absorption variability and a constant inner accretion disk
We present a spectral analysis of four coordinated NuSTAR+XMM-Newton observations of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 1365. These exhibit an extreme level of spectral variability, which is primarily due to variable line-of-sight absorption, revealing relatively unobscured states in this source for the first time. Despite the diverse range of absorption states, each of the observations displays the same c...
متن کاملExtreme 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 کاملVlba Absorption Imaging of Ionized Gas Associated with the Accretion Disk in Ngc
Nearly simultaneous VLBA observations of 3C 84, the radio source associated with NGC 1275, have been made at multiple frequencies to study the free-free absorption of the northern, or “counterjet”, feature found by Walker, Romney, and Benson (1994) and by Vermeulen, Readhead, and Backer (1994). Our observations confirm that the spectra are consistent with free-free absorption and eliminate the ...
متن کاملThe inner accretion disk in M 87
The observed AGN in M87 is extremely quiescent compared to expectations based upon simple estimates for the mass accretion rate. We examine the possibility that the nal stages of accretion are advection dominated by comparing current observational constraints on the ux from the M87 core to the predictions of an advection dominated accretion ow (ADAF) model. We nd that the observed self-absorbed...
متن کاملA circumnuclear molecular torus in NGC 1365
The central region of NGC 1365 has been mapped in the J = 3 − 2 CO emission line with the 15 m SEST, which has a HPBW of 15′′ at the frequency of this transition. The observing grid has a 5′′-spacing in the inner and a 10′′-spacing in the outer region. A deconvolved map has been produced using the Maximum Entropy Method (MEM). A circumnuclear molecular torus with a radius of about 6. ′′5 is the...
