We have explored the relationship between the [O III] $\lambda$5007 and the 2--10 keV luminosities for a sample of Broad- and Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 galaxies (BLSy1 and NLSy1, respectively). We find that both types of Seyferts span the same…

In this work we present a multiwavelength study of narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s) discovered in the Second Byurakan Survey (SBS). The sample consists of 26 objects, which have $M_{B}\ge -23.0$, or $-19.9 > M_{B} > -23.0$, $0.0243 <…

Narrow line Seyfert 1 (NLSy1) galaxies constitute a class of active galactic nuclei characterized by the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the H$\beta$ broad emission line < 2000 km/s and the flux ratio of [O III] to H$\beta$ < 3. Their…

We present a detailed analysis of the XMM-Newton observations of five narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s). They all show very soft continuum emission in the X-ray band with a photon index of $\Gamma\gtrsim 2.5$. Therefore, they are…

A sample of X-ray and optically selected narrow emission-line galaxies (769 sources) from the 3XMM catalogue cross-correlated with SDSS (DR9) catalogue has been studied. Narrow-emission line active galactic nuclei (AGN; type-2) have been…

We present the results of ROSAT All-Sky Survey observations of Seyfert and IR-luminous galaxies from the Extended 12 Micron Galaxy Sample and the optically-selected CfA Sample. Roughly half of the Seyferts (mostly Seyfert 1s) have been…

We selected sources with a steep soft-X-ray-band spectrum with a photon index larger than 2.5 -- measured by eROSITA on board the Spectrum-Roentgen-Gamma (SRG) -- from the eFEDS AGN catalogue as candidates of highly accreting supermassive…

We present the results of a detailed multi-wavelength study of a sample of sixteen narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLSy1) galaxies known in $\gamma$-rays so far. This includes a focused X-ray spectral analysis, to compare them with a more general…

[Abridged] We present ISO far-infrared (IR) observations of 21 hard X-ray selected AGN from the HEAO-1 A2 sample. We compare the far-IR to X-ray spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of this sample with various radio and optically selected…

We studied the six gamma-ray-detected Narrow Line Seyfert 1 (NLSy1) galaxies using the hard X-ray observations from Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) and optical g- \& r-band from Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF). The X-ray…

We present results from an analysis of the broad-band, 0.3-195 keV, X-ray spectra of 48 Seyfert 1-1.5 sources detected in the very hard X-rays with the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT). This sample is selected in an all-sky survey…

The soft (\approx 0.1--2.0 keV) X-ray spectra of narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies are known to be generally steeper than those of Seyfert 1 galaxies with broader optical permitted lines. This has been attributed to the presence of strong soft…
