The Soft–x–ray Spectral Shape of X–ray–weak Seyferts
We present and analyze ROSAT–PSPC observations of eight Seyfert 2 galaxies, two Seyfert 1/QSOs, and one IR–luminous non–Seyfert. These targets were selected from the Extended 12 μm Galaxy Sample and, therefore, have different multiwavelength properties from most (optically or X–ray selected) Seyferts previously observed in the soft X–rays. The targets were also selected as having atypical X–ray...
متن کاملThe nature of X-ray spectral variability in Seyfert Galaxies
We use a model-independent technique to investigate the nature of the 2-15 keV X-ray spectral variability in four Seyfert galaxies and distinguish between spectral pivoting and the twocomponent model for spectral variability. Our analysis reveals conclusively that the softening of the X-ray continuum with increasing flux in MCG−6-30-15 and NGC 3516 is a result of summing two spectral components...
متن کاملSoft X-ray Properties of Narrow-line Seyfert 1 Galaxies
We report on AGN with extremely soft X-ray spectra observed with ROSAT. From their optical emission lines these objects are classiied as narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1), almost all with extremely large Fe ii/H ratios and relatively narrow optical lines of hydrogen. Our results are based on a systematic ROSAT study of 46 NLS1. 32 of these are located in the elds of view of ROSAT pointings ...
متن کاملSoft X - ray Spectroscopy of Seyfert 2 Galaxies
Soft X-ray spectroscopy of Seyfert 2 galaxies provides perhaps the best method to probe the possible connection between AGN activity and star formation. Obscuration of powerful radiation from the inferred nucleus allows for detailed study of circumnuclear emission regions. And soft X-ray spectroscopy of these regions allows for robust discrimination between warm gas radiatively-driven by the AG...
