Scientific paper

The galaxy NGC 3599 is the closest and most recent candidate for the tidal disruption of a star by a supermassive black hole. It was discovered to be very soft in the XMM-Newton Slew Survey and follow-up observations have shown the spectrum hardening while the light curve decays with a t(-5/3) law. We propose to observe NGC 3599 with the XMM-Newton EPIC cameras for 40 ks, taking advantage of their excellent throughput and good spectral resolution, to further quantify the spectral evolution of the source and achieve a high significance point on the light curve.
