Extreme X - ray variability in the luminous quasar PDS 456
We present evidence from BeppoSAX and XMM-Newton of extreme X-ray variability in the high luminosity radio-quiet quasar PDS 456, the most luminous known AGN at z < 0.3. Repeated X-ray flaring is found in PDS 456, over the duration of the 340 ksec long BeppoSAX observation. The X-ray flux doubles in just 30 ksec, whilst the total energy output of the flaring events is as high as 10 51 erg. Under...
متن کاملA Massive X-ray Outflow from the Quasar Pds 456
We report on XMM-Newton spectroscopic observations of the luminous radio-quiet quasar PDS 456. The hard X-ray spectrum of PDS 456 shows a deep absorption trough (constituting 50% of the continuum) at energies above 7 keV in the quasar rest frame, which can be attributed to a series of blueshifted K-shell absorption edges due to highly ionized iron. The higher resolution soft X-ray Reflection Gr...
متن کاملThe Connection between Ultraviolet and X - ray Outflows in AGN : the case of PDS 456
High-velocity outflows from AGN are a well-known phenomena in terms of the Broad Absorption Lines seen in the UV/optical. More recently, similar, possibly related, outflows have been reported in the X-ray. The most extreme example is seen in the nearby, luminous QSO PDS 456, which displays a massive, high velocity (50000 km s), high-ionization X-ray outflow of 10M⊙ yr . Here we present the UV s...
متن کاملPatient dose in routine X-ray examinations in Yazd state
Background: Medical x-rays are the largest man-made source of public exposure to ionizing radiation. It is important to avoid conditions where the amount of radiation used is more than that needed for the procedure. Materials and Methods: The Entrance Skin Exposure (ESE) measurement was conducted for quality control of x-ray machines and survey of operator’s experimental techniques. The ESEs we...
متن کامل0 Studies of the high luminosity quasar , PDS 456
X-ray and multi-wavelength observations of the most luminous known local (z < 0.3) AGN, the recently discovered radio-quiet quasar PDS 456, are presented. The spectral energy distribution shows that PDS 456 has a bolometric luminosity of 10 erg/s, peaking in the UV. The X-ray spectrum obtained by ASCA and RXTE shows considerable complexity. The most striking feature observed is a deep, highlyio...
