Scientific paper

Feedback is an integral component of AGN and galaxy co-evolution. The outward radiation pressure balances the inward gravitational force on the dusty gas in the galaxy bulge at an effective Eddington limit, which is lower than the canonical Eddington limit. We have shown that absorption in AGN in The Swift/BAT 9-month survey is overwhelmingly located below the effective Eddington limit. Here we propose to observe the only three objects from this survey which are at this limit. Other sources near this boundary exhibit warm absorbers and outflows, and searching for evidence of such features in our proposed observations will provide an unprecedented level of detail in understanding sources in which the AGN is in the process of shaping the host galaxy.
