Chandra Proposal Id #02700413

Scientific paper

The goal of this proposal is to use the ACIS-S/HETG to once-and-for-all uncover the true complexity of the Fe K-alpha line in the Seyfert 1.9 galaxy, MCG-5-23-16. This intermediate class of AGN is crucial for testing challenges to AGN unification models. We will separate the narrow line core from the broad component and distinguish between core widths of a few to tens of thousand km/s. Not only will these data determine whether the narrow component is produced in an accretion disk or from further out in the galaxy, it will also help to pin down the relative orientations of the accretion disk and torus.
