    C-statistic vs bayesian : a comparative analysis of x-ray spectral statistics 
    Koranteng, David (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2023-04-17)
    The X-ray spectra of active galactic nuclei (AGN) contain many spectral features, such as emission lines, that provide much insight into the inner workings of these objects. In a class of AGN known as Narrow-Line Seyfert ...

    A flux-flux analysis of spectral variability in Markarian 335 
    Ehler, Hannah (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2017)
    Markarian 335, a Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 Galaxy, has been one the brightest X-ray sources in the sky until 2007 when its flux dropped to 1/10th of its previous value. Despite this dramatic decrease, Mrk 335 still remains one ...

    Nature of the soft excess in blazar 3C273 
    Sajid, Shayaan (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2020)
    The multi-epoch data involving 27 observations of the blazar 3C273 obtained over a period of 16 years from June 2000 to June 2016 in the 0.3-10 keV x-ray band is analysed. A single power-law model is fitted to the hard ...

    Powering a giant : using x-ray emission to determine the power source of ultraluminous infrared galaxies 
    Beanlands, Jennifer K. (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2013)
    Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs) are one of the brightest sources of infrared radiation in the Universe, with luminosities upwards of 10 [superscript 12] times that of the Sun. To produce the extreme infrared ...

    Principal component analysis of the x-ray spectra of blazars 
    Gallant, Dennis (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary’s University, 2018)
    Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is applied to a variety of blazars to examine X-ray spectral variability. Data from nine different objects are analysed in two ways: long-term, which examines variability trends across ...

    Probing the x-ray and radio emission of jetted sources 
    McGrath, K. Maiti (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2021)
    Five jetted sources are used in this work to probe the relationship between the X-ray and Radio emission from radio-loud active galactic nuclei. Timing techniques probing variability, light curve correlation, and power ...

    Using x-ray colour-colour diagrams to study AGN variability 
    Pottie, Benjamin (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2022-05-06)
    Identifying X-ray variability in active galactic nuclei (AGN) has been a longstanding issue due to spectral model degeneracies. It often occurs on timescales too short to employ regular spectral analysis, but colour-colour ...

    An X-ray timing analysis of narrow-line and broad-line Seyfert 1 galaxies with Suzaku 
    Hollett, Angelo R. (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2021)
    The Suzaku X-ray satellite has been decommissioned since 2015, leaving us with a known catalogue of observed active galactic nuclei (AGN). This work provides a timing analysis of all broad-line and narrow-line Seyfert 1 ...
