Comments on the Intrinsic X-ray/uv Absorbers in Agn
نویسنده
چکیده
This talk discusses the unified X-ray/UV absorption models in AGN. I will first review the models and discuss how they offer an unique opportunity to probe the near nuclear environment of AGNs. Recently, however, the validity of these models has been questioned by a number of authors. I will discuss these papers and argue that the data/ models presented in them do NOT contradict the unified X-ray/UV picture. I will conclude by presenting our new HST spectrum of a X-ray warm absorber.

Scattering and absorption in soft X-ray selected AGN: an optical polarization survey
We have surveyed the optical linear polarization of a completely identified sample of 43 bright soft-X-ray-selected ROSAT AGN. Most (40) of these AGN show low polarization (∼<1%), and no clear optical reddening. This supports the suggestion from rapid X-ray variability, disk-like spectral energy distributions, and lack of cold X-ray absorption, that we are viewing a bare AGN disk. IRAS F12397+3...
متن کاملFUSE Observations of Warm Absorbers in AGN
In a survey of the UV-brightest AGN using the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE), we commonly find associated absorption in the O vi λλ1032, 1038 resonance doublet. Of 34 Type I AGN observed to date with z < 0.15, 16 show detectable O vi absorption. Most absorption systems show multiple components with intrinsic widths of ∼ 100 km s spread over a blue-shifted velocity range of < 1000...
متن کاملObservable Properties of X-ray Heated Winds in AGN: Warm Reflectors and Warm Absorbers
First discovered by spectropolarimetry, the warm reflecting gas near active galactic nuclei may be observed in many ways. When the nucleus itself is obscured, and instrumental angular resolution is fine enough to exclude radiation from the host galaxy, this gas can be seen in the soft X-ray band by a combination of bremsstrahlung, intrinsic line emission, and reflection of the nuclear continuum...
متن کاملNew Chandra/ HST-STIS results on Seyfert I AGN: Photoionized Outflows
We present soft X-ray results from observations with Chandra (HETGS) of the Seyfert I AGN NGC 4593 and Mrk 509. We discuss the photoionized outflows associated with Seyfert I AGN in terms of their absorption spectral signatures and discuss their kinematics, column density and ionization state. We discuss the link between UV and X-ray absorbers in Mrk 509 (which was simultaneously observed with ...
متن کاملHigh Velocity Outflows in Narrow Absorption Line Quasars
The current paradigm for the AGN phenomenon is a central engine that consists of an inflow of material accreting in the form of a disk onto a supermassive black hole. Observations in the UV and optical find high velocity ionized material outflowing from the black hole. We present results from Suzaku and XMM-Newton observations of a sample of intrinsic NAL quasars with high velocity outflows. Ou...
