Abstract: We present a 155ks NuSTAR observation of the $z\sim2$ hot dust-obscured galaxy (hot DOG) W1835+4355. We extracted spectra from the two NuSTAR detectors and analyzed them jointly with the archival XMM PN and MOS spectra.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/staa956
Abstract: We investigate infrared colours and spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of 338 X-ray selected AGN from Swift-BAT 105-month survey catalogue that have AKARI detection, in order to find a new selection criteria for Compton-thick AGN. By… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stad1216
Abstract: The circumnuclear material around Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) is one of the essential components of the obscuration-based unification model. However, our understanding of the circumnuclear material in terms of its geometrical shape, structure and its… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/sty2697
Abstract: Recently, Boorman et al. (2018) reported on the discovery of the Iwasawa-Taniguchi (I-T) effect (a.k.a. X-ray Baldwin effect) for Compton-thick AGN. They measured a decrease of the 6.4 keV iron line equivalent width with the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/sty861
Abstract: We present the first study of an Iwasawa–Taniguchi/‘X-ray Baldwin’ effect for Compton-thick active galactic nuclei (AGN). We report a statistically significant anticorrelation between the rest-frame equivalent width (EW) of the narrow core of the neutral… read more here.
