A deep, multi-epoch X-ray analysis of the unobscured Seyfert 1 galaxy HE 0436-4717

Bonson, Kirsten (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2013)

This work presents a deep analysis of HE 0436-4717: a “bare” Seyfert 1 galaxy with strong variability and moderate soft excess. Data included a 200 ks observation with XMM-Newton EPIC instruments, a Swift BAT detection up ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Weird narrow-line seyfert 1s: A multi-epoch, broadband analysis to study the x-ray emission in mrk 1239 and wkk 4438

Buhariwalla, Margaret (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2021)

X-ray emission from Seyfert 1 galaxies has a debated origin. The primary X-ray source is the compact corona, but the secondary X-ray emission is thought to originate from either a Comptonising layer or blurred reflection ...
