Titolo: | Swift/XRT-NuSTAR spectra of type 1 AGN: confirming INTEGRAL results on the high-energy cut-off | Autori: | MOLINA, Manuela MALIZIA, ANGELA Bassani, L. Ursini, Francesco BAZZANO, ANGELA Ubertini, P. |
Data pubblicazione: | 2019 | Rivista: | MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY | Numero: | 484 | Fascicolo: | 2 | Da pagina:: | 2735 | Abstract: | We present the 0.5-78 keV spectral analysis of 18 broad-line AGN belonging to the INTEGRAL complete sample. Using simultaneous Swift-XRT and NuSTAR observations and employing a simple phenomenological model to fit the data, we measure with a good constraint the high-energy cut-off in 13 sources, while we place lower limits on five objects. We found a mean high-energy cut-off of 111 keV (σ = 45 keV) for the whole sample, in perfect agreement with what found in our previous work using non-simultaneous observations and with what recently published using NuSTAR data. This work suggests that simultaneity of the observations in the soft and hard X-ray band is important but not always essential, especially if flux and spectral variability are properly accounted for. A lesser agreement is found when we compare our cut-off measurements with the ones obtained by Ricci et al. (2017) using Swift-BAT high-energy data, finding that their values are systematically higher than ours. We have investigated whether a linear correlation exists between photon index and the cut-off and found a weak one, probably to be ascribed to the non-perfect modelling of the soft part of the spectra, due to the poor statistical quality of the 2-10 keV X-ray data. No correlation is also found between the Eddington ratio and the cut-off, suggesting that only using high statistical quality broad-band spectra is it possible to verify the theoretical predictions and study the physical characteristics of the hot corona and its geometry. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/29473 | URL: | https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article/484/2/2735/5289615?login=true https://arxiv.org/pdf/1901.04188.pdf |
