Scientific paper

Our previous analysis of a short 5ks XMM-Newton observation of the Seyfert 1 MCG-02-14-009 (z=0.028) has shown that of the lower luminosity Seyfert (L_2-10keV= 6.2e42 erg/s) it has one of the strongest relativistic iron lines (EW 530-770eV). In addition, the spectrum was found to be reflection dominated which seems to indicate that the primary source is located very close to the black hole, where gravitational light bending is important. We propose here to perform a 80ks XMM-Newton observation of this object to determine the physical properties of the innermost environment around supermassive black holes by: a) better contraining the Fe Kalpha line profile. b) searching for line and continuum variability and gravitational light bending effect.
