Scientific paper

We propose a simultaneous XMM-Newton and TNG optical and Near-Infrared observation of 1ES 1927+654, a type 2 Seyfert galaxy with no X-ray absorption. The ROSAT and Chandra observations of this source revealed persistent, rapid and large scale variations requiring the line-of-sight to the nucleus to be free from absorption. However, the optical spectrum is typical of Seyfert 2 galaxies. Notably, the measured intrinsic neutral X-ray column density is not enough to obscure the broad-line region. Simultaneous XMM-Newton, optical and Near-Infrared observations are mandatory to confirm the lack of broad emission lines and the lack of X-ray absorption, excluding variability issues. The lack of a BLR in this bright AGN will be difficult to be interpreted within the current Unified Models.
