  • Search for coronal temperature variation in Seyfert galaxies 
    Pal, Indrani; Stalin, C. S (Oxford University Press on behalf of Royal Astronomical Society, 2023-01)
    While the temperature of the X-ray corona (kTe) in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is known for many sources, its variation if any is limited to a handful of objects. This is in part due to the requirement of good signal-to-noise ...
