Scientific paper

3C120 is a bright, nearby FRI radio galaxy with a superluminal jet (e.g., Walker et al. 2001) and broad optical emission lines. We observed this source for 120 ks with XMM-Newton to search for relativistically broadened Fe Kα emission and to probe the structure of the inner accretion flow. This observation is supported by near-simultaneous multi-wavelength coverage in the radio (37 GHz), mm (250 GHz), optical, and UV bands. We caught 3C120 during a large radio flare, when the X-ray source was hard and in decline. The UV flux at 2900 Å is strongly correlated with the soft X-ray flux, consistent with Comptonization of UV photons or X-ray reprocessing. There does not appear to be a significant X-ray contribution from the relativistic jet. The Fe Kα line is narrow and there is no indication of relativistic line emission.
