X-Ray Variability of NLS1s and BLS1s
Rick Edelson
Abstract
Evenly-sampled hard X-ray monitoring was obtained with RXTE for one NLS1 (Akn 564) and four BLS1s. The variability amplitude of the NLS1 was no larger than the mean of the BLS1s, and the NLS1 showed stronger variability in the harder portion of the RXTE band, while the BLS1s were more strongly variable in the relatively soft part of the band. This contribution discusses possible explanations for these surprising results, including possible calibration errors or systematic differences between long and short time scale variability in NLS1s and BLS1s.
