Chandra Proposal Id #05701042

Scientific paper

We propose HETG observations of the X-ray bright Broad-Line Radio Galaxy 3C~382 to study the profile of its strong Fe Kalpha line, and RXTE observations to constrain the broad-band continuum. We have 10 ks of XMM EPIC exposure for this target, soon to be performed. The HETG spectrum will allow us to determine the parameters of the narrow-line component, while the EPIC spectrum will constrain the broad-line component. The proposed observations will allow us to discriminate among competing scenarios for the origin of the Fe line in radio-loud AGN, and determine the structure of the accretion flow in these sources. Chandra is the only instrument with the necessary spectral resolution to resolve the narrow-line component, which in turn is crucial for interpreting the XMM data.
