One of the most important features in active galactic nuclei (AGN) is the variability of their emission. Variability has been discovered at X-ray, UV, and radio...
We have performed a uniform analysis of the power spectrum densities (PSDs) of 104 nearby (z ~= 2 × 10-4 Hz. Only KUG 1031+398 (RE J1034+396) shows evidence for...
X-ray variability of 104 active galactic nuclei. XMM-Newton power-spectrum density profiles
Context. Active galactic nuclei (AGN), powered by accretion onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs), are thought to be scaled up versions of Galactic black hole X...
X-ray-selected broad absorption line quasi-stellar objects
We study a sample of six X-ray-selected broad absorption line (BAL) quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) from the XMM-Newton Wide Angle Survey. All six objects are...
XMM-Newton and Chandra measurements of the AGN intrinsic absorption: dependence on luminosity and redshift
We combine bright XMM-Newton data with the Chandra Deep Field South observations to explore the behavior of the intrinsic AGN absorption, as a function of...
XMM-Newton observations of the Lockman Hole IV: spectra of the brightest AGN
This paper presents the results of a detailed X-ray spectral analysis of a sample of 123 X-ray sources detected with XMM-Newton in the Lockman Hole field. This...
XMM-Newton observations of the Lockman Hole. III. A relativistic Fe line in the mean X-ray spectra of type-1 and type-2 AGN
Using the 770 ks XMM-Newton survey of the Lockman Hole field in combination with extensive optical identifications of the AGN population, we derive an average...
XMM-Newton study of six massive, X-ray luminous galaxy cluster systems in the redshift range z = 0.25-0.5
Massive galaxy clusters are interesting astrophysical and cosmological objects to study, but they are relatively rare. In the redshift range z = 0.25-0.5 which...
