This would enable reverberation studies, already a commonplace feature of AGN, to proceed to the next level and follow the behaviour of the powerful dynamic corona. Such a dedicated legacy programme can only be carried out with XMM-Newton.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-11-21T17:24:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "x-ray reverberation", "x-ray variable active galactic nuclei", "luminous accreting black holes work", "powerful dynamic corona", "commonplace feature" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
