Scientific paper

We propose 5 Chandra/HETG observations of NGC 3783, each simultaneous with HST/STIS observations already approved. The observations will allow the accurate determination of the variable continuum, absorption & emission line properties known to exist in this Seyfert, and constitute the most comprehensive study possible of the nature, origin and evolution of the X-ray & UV absorbers in an AGN. Such absorbers constitute a major component of the circumnuclear gas in AGN, and only the HETG has the resolution to make these measurements. It is vital to perform such a detailed study early in the mission to facilitate the correct interpretation of the Chandra & XMM observations of this and other AGN. We also ask the TAC to approve a restructuring of Chandra time already awarded to this study.
