Abstract

• Our research looked at how black holes in the centers of galaxies in the behaved when eating stars in two different X-ray energy levels. • We looked at 3 interesting sources called Centaurus A (Cen A), NGC 5548, and NGC 4151. • With these black holes we compared the energy levels of soft 2-10 keV X-rays and hard 10-18 keV X-rays • We are doing this because a lot is unknown about the physical mechanisms
