DIRECT MEASUREMENT OF THE X-RAY TIME-DELAY TRANSFER FUNCTION IN ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI

The origin of the observed time lags, in nearby active galactic nuclei (AGNs), between hard and soft X-ray photons is investigated using new XMM-Newton data for the narrow-line SeyfertI galaxy Ark 564 and existing data for 1H0707-495 and NGC4051. These AGNs have highly variable X-ray light curves th...
