Scientific paper

The Seyfert 1 galaxy Zw 229.015 is an anonymous, unstudied AGN near the galactic plane, but by virtue of being in the Kepler field of view it will have the most precise, long-term optical light curve of any AGN ever. As such, the AGN is the ideal candidate for reverberation/echo mapping studies and will be the target of such an investigation in 2011 and 2012. However, there is almost nothing known about the X-ray properties of this AGN: Zw 229 has never been the focus of a targeted observation and has only been detected in the RASS. In AO10 our intention is simply to characterize the X-ray properties and behavior of Zw 229. We propose three observations of Zw 229 over the course of AO10 to measure the object's X-ray spectrum and determine its long- and short-time scale spectral variability.
