We present a detailed analysis of a long, 100 ksec, observation of NGC 4151 by ASCA, contemporaneous with an observation by the CGRO/OSSE. We fit the data with physical models including an Fe K line and Compton reflection both…

We present a detailed analysis of the iron K$\alpha$ line variabilities in NGC 4151 by using long ASCA observation data obtained in May 1995. Despite the relatively small amplitude variations in the continuum flux, the iron K$\alpha$ line…

Recent XMM-Newton observations have measured the hard (2.5-12 keV) X-ray spectrum of the well-known Seyfert galaxy NGC 4151 with a signal-to-noise unprecedented for this source. We find that a spectral model, developed to fit previous…

Chandra and XMM observations are showing that the Fe-K emission lines in type 1 AGN are composite, in general consisting of a narrow and a broad component. We review the latest Chandra HETG results and compare the line profiles with those…

We present an analysis of the narrow Fe K-alpha line in Chandra/HETGS observations of the Seyfert AGN, NGC 4151. The sensitivity and resolution afforded by the gratings reveal asymmetry in this line. Models including weak Doppler boosting,…

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…

NGC 4151 is the brightest Seyfert-1 active galaxy in the pass band of the Resolve calorimeter spectrometer aboard XRISM. It has been observed on 14 occasions, resulting in a total exposure of 893 ks. Herein, we report on an analysis of the…

We present a detailed analysis on the variability of the Fe K emission line in NGC 4051 using ASCA data. Through simple Gaussian line fits, we find not only obvious Fe K line variability with no significant difference in the X-ray continuum…

The observed iron K-alpha fluorescence lines in Seyfert-1 galaxies provide strong evidence for an accretion disk near a supermassive black hole as a source of the emission. Here we present an analysis of the geometrical and kinematic…

We have studied the origin of the broad and skewed feature at 4.5-7.5 keV in the energy spectra of NGC4151 using the ASCA and RXTE data. The feature consists of a narrow peak at 6.4 keV and a broad wing extended between 4.5-7.5 keV. An…

The recent detection of X-ray reverberation lags, especially in the Fe K\alpha\ line region, around Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) has opened up the possibility of studying the time-resolved response (reflection) of hard X-rays from the…

We present a detailed analysis of the hard X-ray (>2.5 keV) EPIC spectra from the first observations of NGC 4151 made by XMM-Newton. We fit the spectra with a model consisting of a power-law continuum modified by line-of-sight absorption…

We present results of new ASCA observations of the low-luminosity AGN (LLAGN) NGC 4579 obtained on 1998 December 18 and 28, and we report on detection of variability of an iron K emission line. The X-ray luminosities in the 2--10 keV band…

We present an analysis of the relativistic iron K-alpha line in the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 3516, based on a continuous, five-day ASCA observation. The broad profile which has been found in several other AGN is confirmed in NGC 3516 with…

We present the results of an ASCA observation of the LINER NGC 4579. A point-like X-ray source is detected at the nucleus with a 2-10 keV luminosity of 1.5x10^41 ergs/s assuming a distance of 16.8 Mpc. The X-ray spectrum is represented by a…

We report results from a 2007 Suzaku observation of the Seyfert 1 AGN NGC 4593. The narrow Fe K alpha emission line has a FWHM width ~4000 km/s, indicating emission from >~ 5000 Rg. There is no evidence for a relativistically broadened Fe K…

We present a detailed analysis of the XMM-Newton long-look of the Seyfert galaxy IC 4329a. The Fe K bandpass is dominated by two resolved peaks at 6.4 keV and 7.0 keV, consistent with neutral or near-neutral Fe K alpha and K beta emission.…

We study properties of Fe K lines of a large sample of Seyfert 1s observed by ASCA. Fits with power laws and Gaussian lines yield the average linewidth and equivalent width of 0.22+-0.03 keV and 0.13+-0.01 keV, respectively. Thus, the…

We present the X-ray spectrum of the broad-line radio galaxy Pictor A as observed by ASCA in 1996. The main objective of the observation was to detect and study the profiles of the Fe~K$\alpha$ lines. The motivation was the fact that the…
