نویسنده
چکیده
X-ray spectroscopy of Seyfert 1 galaxies often reveal absorption edges resulting from photoionized gas along the line-of-sight to the central engine, the so-called warm absorber. I discuss how recent ASCA observations of warm absorber variability in MCG−6-30-15 can lead us to reject a one-zone model and, instead, have suggested a multi-zone warm absorber. The evidence for dust within the warm absorbers of MCG−6-30-15 and IRAS 13349+2438 is also addressed. These dusty warm absorbers reveal themselves by significantly reddening the optical flux without heavily absorbing the soft X-ray photons. Thermal emission from this warm/hot dust may be responsible for the infra-red bump commonly seen in the broad band spectrum of many Seyfert galaxies.

We present a study of the nature of warm absorbers on the basis of ROSAT X-ray observations and photoionization calculations carried out with the code Cloudy. We focus on ‘non-standard’ warm absorbers: (i) the proposed dusty warm absorbers in IRAS 13349+2438 and IRAS 17020+4544, and possibly in 4C+74.26, (ii) we explore several scenarios to account for the recently observed peculiar absorption ...

Measurements of the linear diameters of 12 nearby spiral galaxies with distances determined from primary indicators suggest that both the Milky Way Galaxy and M31 are in the middle of the range of sizes for such galaxies. By comparing the measured linear diameters of these nearby systems with the inferred diameters of a sample of more than 3000 spirals with known redshifts, we conclude that the...

We discuss the origin of the " dusty lukewarm absorber " , which we previously identified in the reddened Seyfert 1 galaxies NGC 3227 and Akn 564. This absorber is characterized by saturated UV absorption lines (C IV, N V) near the systemic velocity of the host galaxy, and is likely responsible for reddening both the continuum and the emission lines (including those from the narrow-line region)...
