We analyze a composite broad-band optical/UV/Xgamma-ray spectrum of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 5548. The spectrum consists of an average of simultaneous optical/IUE/Ginga observations accompanied by ROSAT and GRO/OSSE data from…
Here, we present the 1UVA catalog of time variable ultraviolet (UV) sources. We describe a new analysis pipeline, the VAriable Source Clustering Analysis (VASCA). We apply the pipeline to 10 years of data from the GALaxy Evolution eXplorer…
Using the Multimission Archives at Space Telescope (MAST), we have extracted spectra and determined continuum light curves for 175 Seyfert Galaxies that have been observed with the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) and the Faint…
The Optical Monitor telescope (Mason et al. 2001) on XMM-Newton provides an exciting multi-wavelength dimension to observations of Active Galactic Nuclei. Here we present ultraviolet images, taken with the OM UVW2 filter (140-270 nm), of…
We present a catalog of Local Universe Near-Infrared Seyfert (LUNIS) \textit{K-}band integral field unit (IFU) data of 88 nearby Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), curated from SINFONI/VLT and OSIRIS/Keck archival datasets. This catalog includes…
Time variability of the photon flux is a known feature of active galactic nuclei (AGN) and in particular of blazars. The high frequency peaked BL Lac (HBL) object PKS 2155-304 is one of the brightest sources in the TeV band and has been…
We present the second Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) Ultraviolet Variability (GUVV-2) Catalog that contains information on 410 newly discovered time-variable sources gained through simultaneous near (NUV 1750-2750A) and far (FUV…
Narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies are identified by their uniform optical spectral properties. Studies of samples of NLS1s reveal, however, a range of X-ray spectral and variability behavior, and UV spectral behavior. We describe the range of…
A sample of 123 radio sources that exhibit significant variations at 1.4 GHz on a seven year base-line has been created using FIRST VLA B-array data from 1995 and 2002 on a strip at dec=0 near the south Galactic cap. This sample spans the…
We aim to study the variability properties of bright hard X-ray selected Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) with redshift between 0.3 and 1.6 detected in the Chandra Deep Field South (XMM-CDFS) by a long XMM observation. Taking advantage of the…
The existence of ionized X-ray absorbing layers of gas along the line of sight to the nuclei of Seyfert galaxies is a well established observational fact. This material is systematically outflowing and shows a large range in parameters.…
The focus of NASA's Swift telescope has been transients and target-of-opportunity observing, resulting in many observations of ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) over the last ~20 years. For the vast majority of these observations,…
We analyse all the available Chandra observations of the Cartwheel Galaxy and its compact group, taken between 2001 and 2008, with the main aim of addressing the variability in the X-ray band for this spectacular collisional ring galaxy. We…
We present an atlas of the central regions of 75 Seyfert galaxies imaged in the near-UV with the Advanced Camera for Surveys of the Hubble Space Telescope at an average resolution of ~10pc. These data complement archival high resolution…
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) sources feature supermassive black holes that launch relativistic plasma jets. They are key $\gamma$-ray sources providing a unique laboratory for studying extreme particle acceleration and plasma physics.…
Variability is a property shared by virtually all active galactic nuclei (AGNs), and was adopted as a criterion for their selection using data from multi epoch surveys. Low Luminosity AGNs (LLAGNs) are contaminated by the light of their…
The narrow line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) IRAS 13224-3809 is the most X-ray variable active galactic nucleus (AGN), exhibiting 0.3-10 keV flux changes of over an order of magnitude within an hour. We report on the results of the 1.5 Ms 2016…
We present new results for a sample of 33 narrow-lined UV-selected active galactic nuclei (AGNs), identified in the course of a spectroscopic survey for star-forming galaxies at z ~ 2-3. The rest-frame UV composite spectrum for our AGN…
We report the first detection of a linear correlation between rms variability amplitude and flux in the Ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 5408 X-1. The rms-flux relation has previously been observed in several Galactic black hole X-ray…
