Scientific paper

This is the final report to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) concerning NASA grant NAG8-697. This grant was awarded to Dr. C. Megan Urry of the Space Telescope Science Institute in response to a proposal, entitled 'X-Ray Temporal and Spectral Studies of Blazars with the Ginga Satellite', to collaborate with Japanese colleagues in using the Ginga X-ray satellite. The grant was originally awarded on 2/27/88 and expired on 3/31/94. The Ginga X-ray satellite had unprecedented sensitivity in the 2-20 keV energy band, allowing us to make detailed temporal and spectral studies of a large number of blazars, which are a kind of unusually luminous and variable active galactic nuclei. We were successful with several proposals and were able to observe a number of different active galactic nuclei. Our investigations under this grant fall broadly into two categories: (1) Ginga observations of blazars, usually in conjunction with simultaneous multiwavelength observations using other facilities; and (2) the application of calculated pair plasma spectra to the X-ray colors of active galactic nuclei. These are described in turn.
