The properties of the fluorescence Fe K-alpha emission lines of a sample of 38 quasars (QSOs) observed with XMM-Newton are studied. These objects are included in the optically selected sample from the Palomar-Green (PG) Bright Quasar Survey…

We present results of a systematic analysis of the XMM-Newton spectra of 40 quasars (QSOs) (z<1.72) from the Palomar-Green (PG) Bright Quasar Survey sample (M_B<-23). The sample includes 35 radio-quiet quasars (RQQs) and 5 radio-loud…

We present XMM-Newton/EPIC spectra for the Laor et al. sample of Palomar Green quasars. We find that a power-law provides a reasonable fit to the 2-5 keV region of the spectra. Excess soft X-ray emission below 2 keV is present for all…

We present results from BeppoSAX observations of 10 low redshift quasars. The quasars are part of the Laor et al. (1997) sample of 23 optically selected PG quasars with redshift <0.4 and low Galactic absorption along the line of sight.…

XMM-Newton observations of 29 high redshift (z>2) quasars, including seven radio-quiet, 16 radio-loud and six Broad Absorption Line (BAL) objects, are presented; due to the high redshifts, the rest-frame energy bands extend up to \~30-70…

We report on our XMM observations of the high redshift quasars BR 2237--0607 (z=4.558) and BR 0351--1034 (z=4.351), together with 14 other z>4 objects found in the XMM public archive. Contrary to former reports, we do not find high redshift…

We present a spectroscopic study of 41 hard X-ray sources detected serendipitously with high significance (> 5 sigma in the 2-10 keV band) in seven EPIC performance/verification phase observations. The large collecting area of EPIC allows…

We present the results of XMM-Newton observations of four high-z quasars, two radio-loud and two radio-quiet. One of the radio-loud objects, PKS 2126-158, clearly shows absorption in excess of the galactic value as claimed before from ASCA…

We present the final results of a ROSAT PSPC program to study the soft X-ray emission properties of a complete sample of low $z$ quasars. The main results are: 1. There is no evidence for significant soft excess emission or excess…

Past X-ray observations by ASCA suggest that warm absorbers (O VII and O VIII edges) are apparently rare in high luminosity AGNs (quasars) while they are more common in low luminosity AGNs (Seyferts). However, this could be a selection…

Steep soft X-ray (0.1-2 keV) quasars share several unusual properties: narrow Balmer lines, strong FeII emission, large and fast X-ray variability, rather steep 2-10 keV spectrum. These intriguing objects have been suggested to be the…

We present results from a new XMM-Newton observation of the high-redshift quasar RXJ1028.6-0844 at a redshift of 4.276. The soft X-ray spectral flattening, as reported by a study with ASCA previously (Yuan et al. 2000, ApJ 545, 625), is…

We have searched in the XMM-Newton public archive for quasars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) First Data Release (DR1), and found 55 lying in the field of a XMM-Newton observation with exposure times >20 ksec (as of August, 2004).…

We are carrying out sensitive X-ray observations with Chandra and XMM of type II quasars selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey based on their optical emission line properties. We present observations of four objects at redshifts 0.4 <…

We present the result of 27 ASCA observations of 26 radio-quiet quasars (RQQs) from the PG survey. All the RQQs were detected except 2 BALQSOs. We find the variability characteristics of the sources to be consistent with Seyf-1s. A powerlaw…

Aims. We seek a comprehensive analysis of all the information provided by the XMM-Newton satellite of the four Seyfert 1 galaxies ESO 359-G19, HE 1143-1810, CTS A08.12, and Mrk 110, including the UV range, to characterize the different…

We present preliminary results from a XMM-Newton spectroscopic survey of hard (2 -10 keV) X-ray sources detected serendipitously in seven EPIC FOVs. All observations were performed during the performance/verif ication phase. The resulting…

The EPIC detectors on XMM-Newton provide the most sensitive broad band (0.3-12 keV) X-ray spectra to date. Observations of 6 Seyfert 1 galaxies, covering a wide luminosity range, are examined with the aim of identifying the primary X-ray…

High resolution X-ray spectroscopy of the warm absorber in the nearby quasar, MR2251-178 (z = 0.06398) is presented. The observations were carried out in 2011 using the Chandra High Energy Transmission Grating and the XMM-Newton Reflection…

We present a sample of twenty-one ROSAT bright active galactic nuclei (AGN), representing a range of spectral classes, and selected for follow-up snap-shot observations with XMM-Newton. The typical exposure was between 5-10 ks. The objects…
