Models of X-ray and γ-ray emission from Seyfert galaxies
نویسنده
چکیده
X-ray and γ-ray observations of Seyfert 1 galaxies are briefly reviewed. Both thermal and nonthermal model for X-ray and γ-ray emission are discussed. Particular attention is given to various disc-corona models including both homogeneous and inhomogeneous (patchy) corona models. Recent work on exact radiative transfer in such geometries are reviewed.

An X-ray Reprocessing Model of Disk Thermal Emission in Type 1 Seyfert Galaxies
Using a geometry consisting of a hot central Comptonizing plasma surrounded by a thin accretion disk, we model the optical through hard X-ray spectral energy distributions of the type 1 Seyfert galaxies NGC 3516 and NGC 7469. As in the model proposed by Poutanen, Krolik, & Ryde for the X-ray binary Cygnus X-1 and later applied to Seyfert galaxies by Zdziarski, Lubiński, & Smith, feedback betwee...
متن کاملChandra Observations of X - Ray Weak Narrow - Line Seyfert 1 Galaxies
We present Chandra observations of 17 optically-selected, X-ray weak narrowline Seyfert 1 (NLS1) galaxies. These objects were optically identified byWilliams et al. (2002) in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Early Data Release, but were not found in the ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS) despite having optical properties similar to RASS–detected NLS1s. All objects in this sample were detected by Chandra a...

متن کاملHard X-ray emission from elliptical galaxies
We report the detection of hard X-ray emission components in the spectra of six nearby, giant elliptical galaxies observed with the ASCA satellite. The systems studied, which exhibit strong dynamical evidence for supermassive black holes in their nuclei, are M87, NGC 1399 and NGC 4696 (the dominant galaxies of the Virgo, Fornax and Centaurus clusters, respectively) and NGC 4472, 4636 and 4649 (...

We present the results of ROSAT All–Sky Survey observations of Seyfert and IR–luminous galaxies from the Extended 12 μm Galaxy Sample and the optically–selected CfA Sample. Detections are available for 80% (44/55) of the Seyfert 1s and 34% (23/67) of the Seyfert 2s in the 12 μm sample, and for 76% (26/34) of the Seyfert 1s and 38% (6/16) of the Seyfert 2s in the CfA sample. Roughly half of the ...
