The ISO-SWS infrared spectroscopic observations of the nucleus of Seyfert galaxy NGC4151, which are described in a companion paper, are used together with a compilation of UV to IR narrow emission line data to determine the spectral shape…

NGC 1365 is a Seyfert 2 galaxy with a starburst ring in its nuclear region. In this work we look at the XMM Reflection Grating Spectrometer (RGS) data from four 2012-13, three 2007 and two 2004 observations of NGC 1365. We characterise the…

We have combined Hubble Space Telescope/Faint Object Spectrograph, ground-based, and Infrared Space Observatory spectra of the nucleus of NGC 4395, the least luminous and nearest known type 1 Seyfert galaxy. The spectra show emission lines…

(Abridged) We attempt to infer the accretion mechanism and radiative processes giving rise to the SEDs of a well-defined optically-selected sample of LINERs showing a definite detection of broad Halpha emission (LINER 1s). We construct SEDs…

We present an analysis of the first two XRISM/Resolve spectra of the well-known Seyfert-1.5 active galactic nucleus in NGC 4151, obtained in December 2023. Our work focuses on the nature of the narrow Fe K$_{\alpha}$ emission line at 6.4…

The high-ionization mid-IR lines, excited in the Narrow Line Regions (NLR) of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), barely affected by stellar excitation and dust extinction, trace the AGN bolometric power. We used the complete 12 micron sample of…

XMM-Newton observed the Seyfert 1.9 galaxy NGC 4258 in December 2000. At energies above 2 keV a hard nuclear point source is resolved that can be fitted by a highly absorbed power-law spectrum (NH = (8.0+-0.4)x10^22 cm^-2, photon index…

[abridged] We present an X-ray study of the low-luminosity active galactic nucleus (AGN) in NGC4258 using data from Suzaku, XMM-Newton, and the Swift/BAT survey. We find that signatures of X-ray reprocessing by cold gas are very weak in the…

We present the results of X-ray spectral-timing analysis of a 90ks XMM-Newton observation of the nearby, broad line, early-type AGN NGC5273. The X-ray spectrum revealed the clear presence of a reflection component at high energies, with a…
