A long 280 ks observation of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 3783 with XMM-Newton is reported. We focus on the oxygen line complex between 17 and 24 A as measured with the RGS spectrometers. Accurate absorption column densities and emission line…
This paper reports on a partially simultaneous observation of the bright Seyfert 1 Galaxy Mrk590, performed by XMM-Newton and Chandra. The long exposure (~100 ks) allows to investigate with great detail the Fe K complex at 6-7 keV and the…
MCG-6-30-15 is the archetypal example of a type I active galaxy showing broad "red-wing" emission in its X-ray spectrum at energies below the 6.4 keV Fe K-alpha emission line and a continuum excess above 20 keV. Miller et al. (2008) showed…
The broadband X-ray spectrum of the prototypical starburst galaxy M82 is very complex. At least three spectral components are required to fit the combined ROSAT and ASCA spectrum in the 0.1--10 keV range. The observed X-ray flux in this…
We present a broad-band (~0.3-70 keV) spectral and temporal analysis of NuSTAR observations of the luminous infrared galaxy NGC 6240, combined with archival Chandra, XMM-Newton and BeppoSAX data. NGC 6240 is a galaxy in a relatively early…
X-ray absorption and emission lines now serve as powerful diagnostics of the outflows from active galaxies. Detailed X-ray line studies of outflows have recently been enabled for a significant number of active galaxies via the grating…
The centre of our Galaxy harbours a 4 million solar mass black hole that is unusually quiet: its present X-ray luminosity is more than 10 orders of magnitude less than its Eddington luminosity. The observation of iron fluorescence and hard…
We present the broad band X-ray spectrum of Cyg X-1 in the low/hard state as observed by the instruments on board of BeppoSAX. The spectrum spans from 0.1 to 200 keV, allowing the total accretion luminosity to be observed, rather than…
We present the analysis of four NuSTAR observations of the luminous infrared galaxy merger NGC 6240, hosting a close pair of highly obscured active galactic nuclei (AGN). Over a period of about two years, the source exhibits hard X-ray…
One of the six extended X-ray sources found in the Chandra DeepField North is centred on HDF130, which has recently been shown to be a massive galaxy at z=1.99 with a compact radio nucleus. The X-ray source has a roughly double-lobed…
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 have spatially and spectrally resolved the sources of X-ray emission from the X-ray faint S0 galaxy NGC 1553 using an observation from the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The majority (70%) of the emission in the 0.3 - 10.0 keV band is…
We present an occultation of the central X-ray emitting region in the Seyfert Galaxy NGC 1365. This extreme spectral variation (from Compton-thin to reflection-dominated and back to Compton-thin in four days) has been caught in a ten days…
We present a deep X-ray observation of the low-luminosity active galactic nucleus in NGC4258 (M106) using ASCA. The soft X-ray spectrum <2keV is dominated by thermal emission from optically-thin plasma with kT~0.5keV. The hard X-ray…
We review observations and theoretical models of X-ray/gamma-ray spectra of radio-quiet Seyfert galaxies and of Galactic black-hole candidates (in the hard spectral state). The observed spectra share all their basic components: an…
We present deep Chandra X-ray observations of NGC 5005, a LINER-dominated galaxy previously reported to host a broad H$\alpha$ emission line. The diffuse soft X-ray emission ($<$3 keV) extends out to $\sim$800 pc, while harder emission…
Approximately 20-30% of 1.4<z<2.5 galaxies with K<22 (Vega) detected with Spitzer MIPS at 24um show excess mid-IR emission relative to that expected based on the rates of star formation measured from other multiwavelength data.These…
We present Chandra observations of the young elliptical galaxy NGC 1700. The X-ray isophotes are highly flattened between semimajor axes of 30 and 80 arcseconds, reaching a maximum ellipticity of approximately 0.65 at 60 arcsec (15 kpc).…
Chandra X-ray observations of the high redshift (z =1.532) radio-loud quasar 3C270.1 in 2008 February show the nucleus to have a power-law spectrum, Gamma = 1.66 +/- 0.08, typical of a radio-loud quasar, and a marginally-detected Fe Kalpha…
We present an X-ray study of the massive edge-on Sa galaxy, Sombrero (M~104; NGC 4594), based on XMM-Newton and Chandra observations. A list of 62 XMM-Newton and 175 Chandra discrete X-ray sources is provided. At energies above 2 keV, the…
