X-RAY VARIABILITY STUDY OF POLAR SCATTERED SEYFERT1 GALAXIES

X-RAY VARIABILITY STUDY OF POLAR SCATTERED SEYFERT1 GALAXIES

We study 12 Seyfert 1 galaxies with a high level of optical polarization. Optical light emerging from the innermost regions is predominantly scattered in a polar region above the central engine directly in our line of sight. These sources show characteristics of Seyfert 2 galaxies, e.g. polarized broad lines. The …
