Chandra Observation of 3c 212: a New Look at the X-ray and Uv Absorbers
The red quasar 3C212 (z = 1.049) is one of the most distant and most luminous AGN which has shown evidence of an X-ray warm absorber. In order to further investigate this unusual quasar, we used Chandra/ACIS-S to observe 3C212 for 19.5 ksec, resulting in a net detection of ∼ 4000 counts. The Chandra data confirm the presence of an excess absorbing column NH ≈ 4 × 10 21 cm at the quasar redshift...
متن کاملDay-Scale Variability of 3C 279 and Searches for Correlations in Gamma-Ray, X-Ray, and Optical Bands
Light curves of 3C 279 are presented in optical (R-band), X-rays (RXTE/PCA), and γ rays (CGRO/EGRET) for 1999 Jan–Feb and 2000 Jan–Mar. During both of those epochs the γ-ray levels were high, and all three observed bands demonstrated substantial variation, on time scales as short as one day. Correlation analyses provided no consistent pattern, although a rather significant optical/γ-ray correla...
متن کاملCorrelated X-ray and Optical Variability in X-ray Binaries
It has long been known that X-ray and optical/UV variability in active X-ray binaries is sometimes correlated. The expectation has been that this arises from rapid reprocessing of X-rays into longer wavelength photons, and hence that the lags between the bandpasses can be used to reconstruct an echomap of the binary, revealing the geometry and spatial scale of reprocessing sites. I will review ...
متن کاملX-ray Variability of Blazars
Critical progress in our understanding of high energy emission from AGN has been determined in the last 10 years by X-ray monitoring campaigns with many space missions, notably ROSAT, ASCA, RXTE, BeppoSAX, and XMM, often in conjunction with observations at other frequencies. The emphasis of the present review is on recent findings about X-ray variability of blazars. Among AGN, these exhibit the...
