Scientific paper

We propose a 130ks observation of the X-ray bright Seyfert 1.9 galaxy MCG -5-23-16 with XMM-Newton. Our present analysis of the short XMM observations of MCG-5-23-16 reveals one the best known examples of a relativistically broadened iron K line, with the red-wing of the line extending down to 5keV in the EPIC data. Indeed MCG-5-23-16 is one of only a handful of objects that clearly show a broad iron line with XMM-Newton. Therefore it is imperative that we study the iron K line emission in this Seyfert galaxy in much greater detail. We also propose for a simultaneous 50ks Chandra/HETGS observation, to constrain the narrow core of the line. These observations will not only confirm the existence of the broad disk line with little ambiguity, but also enable us to determine the accretion disk geometry.
