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 کاملSpectropolarimetry of Compton - thin Seyfert 2 s
We present new spectropolarimetry of a sample of nearby Compton-thin Seyfert 2 galaxies (ie those with N H < 10 23 cm −2). We show that the detection rate of scattered broad Hα in this sample is considerably higher than in Seyfert 2 galaxies as a whole. Our results also show that in this low obscuration set it is possible to find scattered broad Hα even when the global properties of the galaxy ...
متن کاملObservation of NGC 6300 : a new bright Compton reflection Dominated Seyfert 2 Galaxy
Scanning and pointed RXTE observations of the nearby Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 6300 reveal that it is a source of hard X-ray continuum and large equivalent width Fe Kα emission. These properties are characteristic of Compton-reflection dominated Seyfert 2 galaxies. The continuum can be modeled as Compton-reflection; subsolar iron abundance is required and a high inclination preferred. However, the p...
متن کاملCold dust in the giant barred galaxy NGC 1365
Constraining the physcial properties of dust requires observations at submm wavelengths. This will provide important insight into the gas content of galaxies. We mapped NGC 1365 at 870 μm with LABOCA, the Large APEX Bolometer Camera, allowing us to probe the central mass concentration as well as the rate at which the gas flows to the center. We obtained the dust physical properties both globall...
متن کاملThe BeppoSAX view of bright Compton-thin Seyfert 2 galaxies
We present the analysis of 31 observations (17 of which are published here for the first time) of 20 bright Compton thin Seyfert 2s, in the 0.1-200 keV band, performed with the BeppoSAX satellite. The sample consists of all Seyfert 2s in the BeppoSAX public archive, with a 2-10 keV flux higher than 5×10−12 erg cm−2s−1. The good statistics available and the broad energy band permit a detailed st...
