Scientific paper

Next to NGC 4151, the second brightest radio-quiet Seyfert galaxy in the hard X-ray - to - soft gamma-ray band is IC 4329a. The observations of this bright yet relatively ordinary Seyfert 1 (z=0.015) yielded a broad-band spectrum which is often used as a template for modeling of the primary emission processes in AGN. The goal of this proposal is to study the structure of the Fe K line, as well as probe the nature of the ionized absorber and the ISM of its own host galaxy using the continuum as the background light source. To accomplish this, we propose a 60 ks Chandra METG/HETG grating observation, to be conducted concurrently with RXTE, for which we have an approved pointing (originally planned to be simultaneous with an Astro-E observation).
