Physics

Mkn 590, Xmm-Newton Proposal 02010201

Scientific paper

We propose simultaneous Chandra-XMM Newton observations of Mkn 590, one of the brightest Seyfert 1 galaxies in the Piccinotti sample. We aim at obtaining a high resolution and high S/N snapshot on the X ray spectrum of this galaxy being able, at the same time, to measure its short-time scale variations. The final objective is to probe the very inner regions in this AGN. Especially, the Fe Kα line profile will be measured with great accuracy, which will be crucial to constrain current physical models. Chandra and XMM simultaneous observations are the only current method to allow it. HETG will constrain the profile of the narrow line core. XMM-Newton is necessary to measure the broad wings.
