A dynamic black hole corona in an active galaxy through X-ray reverberation mapping

A dynamic black hole corona in an active galaxy through X-ray reverberation mapping

X-ray reverberation echoes are assumed to be produced in the strongly distorted spacetime around accreting supermassive black holes. This signal allows us to spatially map the geometry of the inner accretion flow1,2—a region that cannot yet be spatially resolved by any telescope—and provides a direc...
