We report on the variability of the iron K emission line in the Seyfert 1 galaxy MCG--6-30-15 during a four-day ASCA observation. The line consists of a narrow core at an energy of about 6.4 keV, and a broad red wing extending to below 5…
We report results on the broad iron emission line of the Seyfert galaxy MCG-6-30-15, obtained from the second long ASCA observation in 1997. The time-averaged profile of the broad line is very similar to that seen with ASCA in 1994, so…
We report the first simultaneous measure of the X-ray broadband (0.1--200 keV) continuum and of the iron K-alpha fluorescent line profile in the Seyfert 1 galaxy MCG-6-30-15. Our data confirms the ASCA detection of a skewed and redshifted…
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…
Recent observations have shown that the Fe Kalpha line profile of the Seyfert~1 galaxy MCG-06-30-15 is strongly variable. We attempt accretion disk model fits to the Fa Kalpha line profiles in a high, low and medium continuum luminosity…
Recent X-ray spectroscopy made with ASCA have shown broad, skewed iron line emission from Seyfert-1 galaxies. The large extent of the red tail allows probing of the innermost regions of the black hole's accretion disc. A model of line…
The bright Seyfert 1 galaxy MCG-6-30-15 has provided some of the best evidence to date for the existence of supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei. Observations with ASCA revealed an X-ray iron line profile shaped by strong…
We report on an analysis in the 3--10 keV X-ray band of the long 1999 ASCA observation of MCG--6-30-15. The time-averaged broad iron K line is well-described by disk emission near a Schwarzschild black hole, confirming the results of…
The X-ray spectrum obtained by Tanaka et al from a long observation of the active galaxy MCG$-6-30-15$ shows a broad iron K$\alpha$ line skewed to low energies. The simplest interpretation of the shape of the line is that it is due to…
We reanalyze the ASCA and BeppoSAX data of MCG-6-30-15, using a double zone model for the Iron line profile. In this model, the X-ray source is located around $\approx 10$ Schwarzschild radius and the regions interior and exterior to the…
We present a detailed re-analysis of the two {\it ASCA} Performance Verification observations of the nearby Seyfert 1 galaxy MCG-6-30-15. Confirming the results of Fabian et al. (1994), we find definite evidence for the {\sc O\,vii} and…
We present XMM-Newton European Photon Imaging Camera (EPIC) observations of the bright Seyfert 1 galaxy MCG-6-30-15, focusing on the broad Fe K$\alpha$ line at ~6keV and the associated reflection continuum, which is believed to originate…
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…
Iron K-alpha lines are key diagnostics of the central regions of AGN. Their profiles indicate that they are formed deep in the potential well of the central black hole, where extreme broadening and red shift occur. The profiles are most…
We present first results from a 325 ks observation of the Seyfert 1 galaxy MCG-6-30-15 with XMM-Newton and BeppoSAX. The strong, broad, skewed iron line is clearly detected and is well characterised by a steep emissivity profile within 6r_g…
The Seyfert I galaxy MCG-6-30-15 shows one of the best examples of a broad "red wing" of emission in its X-ray spectrum at energies 2 < E < 6.4 keV, commonly interpreted as being caused by relativistically-blurred reflection close to the…
MCG-6-30-15, at a distance of 37 Mpc (z=0.008), is the archetypical Seyfert 1 galaxy showing very broad Fe K$\alpha$ emission. We present results from a joint NuSTAR and XMM-Newton observational campaign that, for the first time, allows a…
Reynolds & Begelman (1997) have recently proposed a model in which the broad and extremely redshifted iron line seen during a deep minimum of the light curve of the Seyfert 1 galaxy MCG-6-30-15 originates from matter spiralling into a…
The spectrum of the bright Seyfert I galaxy MCG-6-30-15 shows a broad Fe K-alpha emission line, generally interpreted to originate very close to the central black hole which must then have a high spin. The observed X-ray variability is…
We use the method of Press, Rybicki & Hewitt (1992) to search for time lags and time leads between different energy bands of the RXTE data for MCG-6-30-15. We tailor our search in order to probe any reverberation signatures of the…
