Prospects for differentiating extended coronal geometries in AGNs with the <i>IXPE</i> mission

نویسندگان

چکیده

X-ray polarimetry can potentially constrain the unknown geometrical shape of AGN coronae. We present simulations polarization signal expected from coronae, assuming three different geometries, namely slab, spherical and conical. use fully relativistic Monte-Carlo Comptonization code monk to compute degree angle. explore coronal parameters such as shape, size, location optical depth. Different geometries give a significantly signal. A slab corona yields high degree, up 14% depending on viewing inclination; low values, about 1-3%, while conical intermediate values. also find difference 90 degrees in angle between or Upcoming missions like IXPE will allow us observationally distinguish among AGNs for first time.

Recent Chandra Results on AGNs & Future Prospects

I review Chandra’s achievements in the last two years in AGN research. I concentrate on some topics of my interest; some others are reviewed in an accompanying article by K. Nandra. I comment briefly on the need to allow for the discovery space to ensure rapid progress in the field. 1. Chandra At Sharp Focus This meeting is called “Chandra At Sharp Focus”. So let me begin at the beginning when ...

the search for the self in becketts theatre: waiting for godot and endgame

this thesis is based upon the works of samuel beckett. one of the greatest writers of contemporary literature. here, i have tried to focus on one of the main themes in becketts works: the search for the real "me" or the real self, which is not only a problem to be solved for beckett man but also for each of us. i have tried to show becketts techniques in approaching this unattainable goal, base...

Planet finding prospects for the Space Interferometry Mission

The Space Interferometry Mission (SIM) will make precise astrometric measurements that can be used to detect planets around nearby stars. We have simulated SIM observations and estimated the ability of SIM to detect planets with given masses and orbital periods and measure their orbital elements. We combine these findings with an estimate of the mass and period distribution of planets determine...

Extended Schouten classification for non-Riemannian geometries

A generalized connection, including Christoffel coefficients, torsion, non-metricity tensor and metric-asymmetricity object, is analyzed according to the Schouten classification. The inverse structure matrix is found in the linearized regime, autoparallel trajectories are defined and the contribution of the components of the connection are clarified at first-order approximation.

Prospects for Success in Inhibiting the Growth of Multidrug-resistant Bacteria with Paromomycin

Streptomyces is the most important bacterial genus known to produce secondary antibiotic compounds. Considering the speed of bacterial resistance spread, it becomes more important to study less used compounds. Aminoglycosides disrupt the function of the target microorganism by acting on the protein-synthesis process. Paromomycin is an aminoglycoside that acts on a wide range of gram-positive, g...
