Scientific paper

We propose a deep X-ray/UV spectroscopy campaign on the bright Seyfert 1 galaxy MRK 279, using Chandra LETGS, HST/STIS, and FUSE. Our main scientific goal is to study the AGN outflow seen as an ionized absorber in this galaxy, focusing on the crucial connection between the X-ray and UV manifestations of the outflows. We will map the ionization and velocity structure, measure the elemental abundances and then determine the mass and kinetic luminosity flux of the outflow- all stepping stones for studying the importance of outflows in the evolution of AGN and their host galaxies. In addition we will use the LETGS data to determine the existence of relativistic CNO emission lines in the spectrum.
