Suzaku observations of ‘bare’ active galactic nuclei
We present an X-ray spectral analysis of a large sample of 25 ‘bare’ active galactic nuclei (AGN), sources with little or no complicating intrinsic absorption, observed with Suzaku. Our work focuses on studying the potential contribution from relativistic disc reflection and examining the implications of this interpretation for the intrinsic spectral complexities frequently displayed by AGN in ...
متن کاملUpper limits to the SN1006 multi-TeV gamma-ray flux from HESS observations
Observations of the shell-type supernova remnant SN1006 have been carried out with the H.E.S.S. system of Cherenkov telescopes during 2003 (18.2h with two operating telescopes) and 2004 (6.3h with all four telescopes). No evidence for TeV γ-ray emission from any compact or extended region associated with the remnant is seen and resulting upper limits at the 99.9% confidence level are up to a fa...
متن کاملVariability in active galactic nuclei: confrontation of models with observations
The variability of active galactic nuclei (AGN) has long held the promise of shedding light on their detailed structure, and possibly other astrophysical phenonema. Different emission mechanisms lead to different patterns of variability in flux which are in principle easily distinguishable. Recent predictions for the expected spectrum of variations for various models are now in such a form that...
متن کاملStellar population in Active Galactic Nuclei. I. The Observations
Recent observations supported by theoretical models have lead to the view that giant and supergiant stars are over abundant, and/or a high metallicity component may be present, in the stellar populations at the centres of active galaxies. Here we attempt to quantify these effects by observing the strengths of the stellar absorption lines of Mg b, NaI, CaII triplet as well as molecular bands suc...
متن کاملSTACEE Observations of Active Galactic Nuclei and Other Sources
We describe recent observations and future plans for the Solar Tower Atmospheric Cherenkov Effect Experiment (STACEE) located at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico. STACEE is a ground-based experiment for detecting atmospheric Cherenkov light from rays in the energy range 50 to 500 GeV. We describe recent observations of active galactic nuclei such as Mrk 501, and also outl...
