Scientific paper

Four Chandra High Energy Transmission Grating spectra of Mrk 290, a bright Seyfert 1, were carried out in 2003 with a total integration time of 251 ks. The nuclear X-ray spectrum is best described by a absorbed power law of photon index Γ 1.83 plus a black body model with a temperature of 90 eV. Using the combined spectra, we detect significant absorption lines due to intervening ionized outflowing gas. Some absorption lines show a discrete velocity structure. The outflow velocity 500 km/s is comparable with that in ultraviolet band. Support for this work was provided by the National Aeronautic Space Administration through the Smithonian Astrophysics of Observation contract SV3-73016 to MIT for support of the Chandra X-ray Center, which is operated by SAO for and on behalf of NASA under contract NAS8-03060.
