Deepest serendipitous survey of the intermediate galactic latitude from XMM-Newton

Duelge, Larkin Michelle (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2011)

The XMM-Newton Observatory has conducted many observations of the type I active galactic nucleus 1H0707-495. The 0.7 deg [superscript 2] field of view around the AGN was observed over the course of ∼10 years with a total ...
Exploring various corona geometries and their emissivity profiles

Gonzalez, Adam (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2017)

The differences in emissivity profiles produced by various corona geometries are explored via general relativistic ray tracing simulations in order to better understand the inner disc region of active galactic nuclei. ...
Investigating X-ray variability of AGN through spectral and temporal analyses : Mrk 530 & Mrk 335

Ehler, Hannah Jae Sariah (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2019)

X-ray observations of two Seyfert AGN were analysed in an effort to characterise the nature of their variability. A spectral analysis was performed on a Suzaku observation of the Seyfert 1.5 AGN Mrk 530, and a timing ...
Properties of the simulated agn activity function in isolated galaxy mergers

Hani, Maan H. (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2015)

Numerical modeling of active galactic nuclei (AGN) poses many challenges, from uncertainties about the underlying physics to dynamic range issues. We present a study of simulated activity functions (AF; the differential ...
Strong Fe-L[alpha] fluorescent emission in type-1 Seyfert galaxies

Hurlburt, Sherry (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2013)

A search for relativistically blurred Fe-L [alpha] is performed on 353 nearby broad and narrow line Type-1 active galactic nuclei (AGN). Simple phenomenological modeling is applied to establish the presence of Fe-L[alpha] ...
Using wavelet analysis to study AGN x-ray variability

Ghosh, Akshay (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2023-08-01)

In this work, we examine the application of the wavelet transform to the X-ray timing analyses of active galactic nuclei (AGN) and quasi-periodic eruption sources (QPEs). We find that the power spectral density (PSD) slope ...
