Scientific Highlights from Observations of Active Galactic Nuclei with the MAGIC Telescope
Since 2004, the MAGIC γ-ray telescope has newly discovered 6 TeV blazars. The total set of 13 MAGIC-detected active galactic nuclei includes well-studied objects at other wavelengths like Markarian 501 and the giant radio galaxy M 87, but also the distant the flat-spectrum radio quasar 3C 279, and the newly discovered TeV γ-ray emitter S5 0716+71. In addition, also long-term and multi-wavelengt...
متن کاملTelescope Observations of the CfA Seyfert 2 s : The Fueling of Active Galactic Nuclei
We present an investigation of possible fueling mechanisms operating in the inner kiloparsec of Seyfert galaxies. We analyze visible and near-infrared Hubble Space Telescope images of 24 Seyfert 2s from the CfA Redshift Survey sample. In particular, we are searching for the morphological signatures of dynamical processes reponsible for transporting gas from kiloparsec scales into the nucleus. T...
متن کاملSuzaku observations of ‘bare’ active galactic nuclei
We present an X-ray spectral analysis of a large sample of 25 ‘bare’ active galactic nuclei (AGN), sources with little or no complicating intrinsic absorption, observed with Suzaku. Our work focuses on studying the potential contribution from relativistic disc reflection and examining the implications of this interpretation for the intrinsic spectral complexities frequently displayed by AGN in ...
متن کاملVariability in active galactic nuclei: confrontation of models with observations
The variability of active galactic nuclei (AGN) has long held the promise of shedding light on their detailed structure, and possibly other astrophysical phenonema. Different emission mechanisms lead to different patterns of variability in flux which are in principle easily distinguishable. Recent predictions for the expected spectrum of variations for various models are now in such a form that...
متن کاملObservations of Active Galactic Nuclei with Ground-Based Cherenkov Telescopes
Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) allow us to observe Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) in the 100 GeV to 20 TeV energy range with high sensitivity. The TeV γ-ray observations of the nine blazars detected so far in this energy range reveal rapid flux and spectral variability on time scales of several hours, sometimes even on time scales of a few minutes. While simple synchrotron-Comp...
