Journal ArticleDOI

Broad Iron Lines in Active Galactic Nuclei

TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarize the physics of the fluorescent line formation and show that Fe Kα line profile observations can be used to probe relativistic effects in the vicinity of the black hole, concentrating on recent results from XMM-Newton.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficient Production of Sound Waves by AGN Jets in the Intracluster Medium

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the efficiency with which jets can drive sound waves into the ICM and found that high velocity, wide angle jets produce sound waves most efficiently, yet the acoustic efficiency never exceeds 1/3 of the jet energy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global Simulations of Accretion Disks I: Convergence and Comparisons with Local Models

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of global grid-based magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations was performed for the study of astrophysical accretion disks, and the authors showed that the saturation of the MHD turbulence via parasitic modes of the magnetorotational instability is related to the instantaneous correlations between local flux and stress found in global simulations.
Journal ArticleDOI

An ionized accretion disc wind in Hercules X-1

TL;DR: In this article, an ionized wind was detected in the high-energy X-ray spectrum of Herculis X-1 when the source is in the very high state.
