Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to inform you that Galaxies is hosting a Special Issue titled “Understanding the X-ray variability of AGNs”.
X-ray variability is a powerful tool for investigating extreme physical processes that take place in the inner parts of AGNs close to accreting black holes.
In this era of intensive high and very high energy gamma-ray observations, we aim to collect studies on the related X-ray regimes and phenomena.
We are interested in both observational and theoretical papers exploring the X-ray variability of different kinds of AGNs. This issue is limited to a particular subclass of AGN or specific aspects of their variability. Review papers summarizing the current state of knowledge about these phenomena are also welcomed.
Dr. Alicja Wierzcholska
