Evidence for ultra-fast outflows in radio-quiet AGNs - I. Detection and statistical incidence of Fe K-shell absorption lines

TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed a blind search for narrow absorption features at energies greater than 6.4 kV and detected 36 narrow absorption lines on a total of 101 XMM-Newton EPIC pn observations.

The Hot and Energetic Universe: A White Paper presenting the science theme motivating the Athena+ mission

Kirpal Nandra, +239 more
TL;DR: The Advanced Telescope for High Energy Astrophysics (Athena+) mission as discussed by the authors provides the necessary performance (e.g., angular resolution, spectral resolution, survey grasp) to address these questions and revolutionize our understanding of the Hot and Energetic Universe.
Journal ArticleDOI

The quiescent intracluster medium in the core of the Perseus cluster

Felix Aharonian, +224 more
- 06 Jul 2016 - 
TL;DR: X-ray observations of the core of the Perseus cluster reveal a remarkably quiescent atmosphere in which the gas has a line-of-sight velocity dispersion of 164 ± 10 kilometres per second in the region 30–60 kiloparsecs from the central nucleus, infering that a total cluster mass determined from hydrostatic equilibrium in a central region would require little correction for turbulent pressure.

Wind from the black-hole accretion disk driving a molecular outflow in an active galaxy

TL;DR: Observations of a powerful accretion-disk wind with a mildly relativistic velocity in the X-ray spectrum of IRAS F11119+3257, a nearby optically classified type 1 ultraluminous infrared galaxy hosting a powerful molecular outflow are reported.
