Previous X-ray and ultraviolet spectroscopy suggested that the Fe/O abundance ratio in NGC 1068 may be abnormally high. We have measured some 15 X-ray lines in NGC 1068, to an accuracy better than a factor 2, and modeled the continuum in…

We present the analysis of multi-wavelength XMM-Newton data from the Seyfert galaxy NGC 3783, including UV imaging, X-ray and UV lightcurves, the 0.2-10 keV X-ray continuum, the iron K-alpha emission line, and high-resolution spectroscopy…

We observed the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 4593 with the Chandra high energy transmission gratings and present a detailed analysis of the soft X-ray spectrum. We measure strong absorption lines from He-like O, Ne, Mg, Si, H-like N, O, Ne, Mg, Si…

Archival XMM-Newton data on the nearby Seyfert galaxy NGC 4051, taken in relatively high and low flux states, offer a unique opportunity to explore the complexity of its X-ray spectrum. We find the hard X-ray band to be significantly…

The 1.5 Seyfert galaxy NGC 3227 has been observed by several X-ray missions. We carried out a combined analysis of the data obtained by more recent major observations of the source: two observations performed by XMM-Newton in 2000 and 2006…

We present an analysis of XRISM and NuSTAR data obtained for the nearby low-Eddington active galactic nucleus NGC 7213. Our goal is to examine whether its He-like and H-like iron emission lines can be reproduced by photoionization or…

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…

An extended XMM-Newton observation of the luminous narrow line Seyfert galaxy PG 1211+143 in 2014 has revealed a more complex high velocity wind, with components distinguished in velocity, ionization level, and column density. Here we…

We propose that the UV/X-ray correlation observed in NGC 4151 by EXOSAT and IUE is due to reemission of the X-ray flux absorbed by cold clouds in the line of sight. This transmission model satisfies the energy balance, provides a good fit…

We present the first high-resolution near-infrared spectroscopy of the nucleus of the nearby, well-known Seyfert galaxy NGC 4151 (the "Eye of Sauron"). Past studies of this source have revealed that it exhibits a variable absorption feature…

An XMM-Newton observation of the luminous Seyfert galaxy PG1211+143 in 2001 revealed the first clear evidence for a highly ionised high speed wind (in a non-BAL AGN), with a velocity of v~0.09c based on the identification of blue-shifted…

We present the results of a deep 300 ks Chandra HETG observation of the highly variable narrow-line Seyfert Type 1 galaxy NGC 4051. The HETG spectrum reveals 28 significant soft X-ray ionised lines in either emission or absorption;…

We present data from simultaneous Chandra, XMM-Newton and BeppoSAX observations of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 3516, taken during 2001 April and Nov. We have investigated the nature of the very flat observed X-ray spectrum. Chandra grating…

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 show that the sharp cutoff in the hard X-ray spectrum of NGC 4151, unusual for Seyfert 1 galaxies, can be reconciled with the average Seyfert 1 spectrum if we assume that the central source is completely hidden from our line of sight by…

Spectroscopic observations of the low luminosity Seyfert 1 nucleus in NGC 3516 obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope show that the visible spectrum is dominated by the Balmer emission lines of Hydrogen (H) and a continuum luminosity that…

We showcase a tool suite that enables the fitting of soft X-ray spectra in active galactic nuclei (AGN), without the need for specialist software, allowing access to AGN physics for school students. While these standardised Python tools…

We analyze the high-resolution X-ray spectrum of Hercules X-1, an intermediate-mass X-ray binary, which was observed with the XMM-Newton Reflection Grating Spectrometer. We measure the elemental abundance ratios by use of spectral models,…

Using The Hubble Space Telescope's Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph HST's STIS, observations of the OIII emission from the narrow-line region (NLR) of NGC 4151 were obtained and radial velocities determined. Five orbits of HST time were…

We present the first results of the Hubble Space Telescope/Faint Object Camera long-slit spectroscopy of the inner 8" of the Narrow Line Region of NGC 4151 at a spatial resolution of 0".029. The emission gas is characterized by an…
