Active Galaxies in the Xmm/chandra Era
نویسنده
چکیده
In this review talk I discuss the important issues of AGN research and how the new generation of X-ray observatories can help to constrain the physics of AGN. I also present a biased list of the new XMM-Newton and Chandra discoveries and how they have altered our view of AGN. I also present a set of what are the new types of observations that need to be performed to make significant progress in this field.

Cosmic Star Formation History and Deep X-ray Imaging in the Xmm-newton and Chandra Era
I summarize X-ray diagnostic studies of cosmic star formation in terms of evolutionary schemes for X-ray binary evolution in normal galaxies with evolving star formation. Deep X-ray imaging studies by Chandra andXMMNewton are beginning to constrain both the X-ray luminosity evolution of galaxies and the logN–logS diagnostics of the X-ray background: I discuss these in the above context, summari...
متن کاملDwarf Galaxies of the Local Group
XMM-Newton and Chandra have ushered in a new era for the study of dwarf galaxies in the Local Group. We provide an overview of the opportunities, challenges, and some early results. The large number of background sources relative to galaxy sources is a major theme. Despite this challenge, the identification of counterparts has been possible, providing hints that the same mechanisms producing X-...
متن کاملHigh Resolution X - Ray Spectroscopy of Seyfert 2 Galaxies
X-ray spectroscopy of Seyfert 2 galaxies provides an excellent probe of the circumnuclear environment in active galactic nuclei. The grating experiments on both Chandra and XMM-Newton have now provided the first high resolution spectra of several of the brightest Seyfert 2's. We present Chandra HETG data on Markarian 3, and XMM-Newton RGS data on NGC 1068. In both cases, the spectra are dominat...
متن کاملX-ray and optical properties of X-ray sources in the 13hr XMM-Newton/Chandra deep survey
The 13hr XMM-Newton/Chandra deep survey is the first of two extremely deep XMM-Newton fields observed by the XMM-OM consortium. A 120 ks Chandra mosaic, covering 0.2 deg, provides sensitive, confusion-free point source detection with sub-arcsecond positions, while the 200 ks XMM-Newton observation provides high quality X-ray spectroscopy over the same sky area. We have optical spectroscopic ide...
متن کاملChandra and Xmm-newton Observations of a Sample of Low-redshift Fri and Frii Radio-galaxy Nuclei
We present spectral results, from Chandra and XMM-Newton observations, of a sample of 22 low-redshift (z < 0.1) radio galaxies, and consider whether the core emission originates from the base of a relativistic jet, an accretion flow, or contains contributions from both. We find correlations between the unabsorbed X-ray, radio, and optical fluxes and luminosities of FRI-type radio-galaxy cores, ...
