Scientific paper

The X-ray spectrum of many type 1 AGNs (Active Galactic Nuclei) features absorption lines, which are blue- shifted with respect to the AGN rest frame. This is evidence for an ionized wind, which could play an important role in galactic and inter-galactic feedback. Charge states as high as Fe+25 are observed. I will shortly show the method we use to measure ionic column densities, outflow velocity, and how we characterize the broad distribution in ionization parameter - the AMD (Absorption Measure Distribution). I will then present our results for MCG -6-30-15, an AGN with at least two distinct velocity components. I will then talk about what could be a third component with an elusive origin.
