OSSE observations of the radio-quiet quasar PG 1416-129.

STAUBERT R. and MAISACK M.

Abstract (from CDS):

We report the detection of the bright radio quiet quasar PG 1416-129 by the OSSE instrument on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO). This object had the hardest spectral index of all known AGN in the energy range 2-20 keV ({GAMMA}=1.1±0.1) when observed by Ginga. We find that the source is variable at energies >50keV during the OSSE observation, and that the OSSE spectrum is steeper than the Ginga spectrum. The broad-band X-ray spectrum resembles that of Seyfert galaxies, supporting models which interpret radio quiet quasars as the high-luminosity counterparts of Seyferts.
