Scientific paper

Recently a short (4ks) XMM-Newton observation of the intermediate Seyfert 1.8 galaxy ESO113-G010 (z=0.0257) has revealed a narrow emission line at 5.4keV (object rest-frame), detected at 99% confidence level. This line can be attributed to the signature of redshifted iron emission from an orbiting hotspot on the inner accretion disk surface. Performing phase-resolved X-ray spectroscopy of this object will enable us to follow the evolution of the line profile over the orbital timescale of the inner accretion disk. Measurement of the line parameters (e.g., energy shift, intensity) will give us the inclination of the disk, radial location of the hotspot and even an estimate of the black hole mass. (abridged)
