Past X-ray observations of the nearby Seyfert 2 MCG-03-58-007 revealed the presence of a powerful and highly variable disk wind, where two possible phases outflowing with $v_{\rm out1}/c\sim -0.07$ and $v_{\rm out2}/c\sim -0.2$ were observed. Multi-epoch X-ray observations, covering the period from 2010 to 2018, showed that the lower velocity component is persistent, as it was detected in all the observations, while the faster phase outflowing with $v_{\rm out2}/c\sim -0.2$ appeared to be more sporadic. Here we present the analysis of a new monitoring campaign of MCG-03-58-007 performed in May-June 2019 and consisting of four simultaneous XMM-Newton & NuSTAR observations. We confirm that the disk wind in MCG-03-58-007 is persistent, as it is detected in all the observations, and powerful, having a kinetic power that ranges between 0.5-10% of the Eddington luminosity. The highly ionized wind (log($ ξ/{\rm erg\,cm \,s^{-1}})\sim 5$) is variable in both the opacity and remarkably in its velocity. This is the first time where we have observed a substantial variability of the outflowing velocity in a disk wind, which dropped from $v_{\rm {out}}/c\sim -0.2$ (as measured in the first three observations) to $v_{\rm {out}}/c\sim -0.074$ in just 16 days. We conclude that such a dramatic and fast variability of the outflowing velocity could be due to the acceleration of the wind, as recently proposed by Mizumoto et al. (2021). Here, the faster wind, seen in the first three observations, is already accelerated to $v_{\rm {out}}/c \sim -0.2$, while in the last observation our line of sight intercepts only the slower, pre-accelerated streamline.
The broad band spectral variability of MCG-6-30-15 observed by NuSTAR and XMM-Newton
MCG-6-30-15,距离37 Mpc(z=0.008),是典型的塞弗特1星系,显示出非常宽的Fe K $α$发射。我们目前的结果,从联合NuSTAR和XMM-牛顿观测活动,第一次,允许一个敏感的,时间分辨的光谱分析从0.35千电子伏到80千电子伏。源的强可变性是最好的解释方面的内在X射线通量的变化,并在光弯曲模型的上下文中:主要的,可变的发射是由吸积盘,产生二次,较少的变量,反射发射再处理。广泛的Fe K $α$配置文件,通常为这个源,以及解释发生在最里面的区域的吸积盘周围的快速旋转的黑洞的相对论效应。我们还讨论了替代模型中的Fe K $α$的扩大是由于复杂的性质的环核吸收结构。即使不能排除这种模式,但从统计学的角度来看,它也是不受欢迎的。我们还探测到一个可能由BLR云穿过视线引起的掩星事件。

Investigating the origin of the faint non-thermal emission of the Arches cluster using the 2015-2016 NuSTAR and XMM-Newton X-ray observations
最近的NuSTAR和XMM-牛顿观测的分子云周围的拱门星团表明,其非热X射线发射的形态和强度的显着变化,类似于在银河系中心的中央分子带的许多分子云中观察到的。这些变化跟踪的传播,可能是由过去的耀斑活动的Sgr A $^{\star}$的照明战线。在本文中,我们介绍了2016年对拱门复合体进行的长期NuSTAR观测的结果,这是在之前的XMM+NuSTAR观测一年后进行的,该观测揭示了云排放的强烈下降。2016年NuSTAR观测表明,非热连续谱发射和Fe K $_α$ 6.4~keV线通量都与2015年测量的水平一致。在光谱形状和Fe K $_α$等效宽度EW $_{\rm 6.4\ keV}$上没有发现明显的变化,这可能是由于拱门的非热发射强度达到了稳定水平。与此同时,2016年测量的非热通量与2007-2015年观察到的下降趋势没有正式的分歧。因此,我们无法评估非热辐射是否在2016年达到稳定水平,需要更长时间间隔的新观测才能得出严格的结论。首次对拱门分子云的三个明亮团块进行了详细的光谱分析,显示出不同的EW $_{\rm 6.4\ keV}$和吸收。这强烈暗示分子云的X射线发射是两种来源不同的成分的混合。
