Scientific paper

We propose to observe with the HETGS the Sy1 NGC 985 for 80 ks. This is the brightest (F[2-10] = 2e-11 cgs) Sy1 known to host a warm absorber, not yet observed with the Chandra gratings. BeppoSAX data of NGC 985 clearly demonstrate that, the X-ray ionized absorber in this object is complex. NGC 985 is also one of the biggest known ring-galaxies, interacting with another fainter galaxy, whose nucleus is only 3'' away from the Seyfert nucleus. With the proposed observation we will be able to detect X-ray sources associated with starburst activity in the ring, and to resolve thermal X-ray emission. Finally, if hot gas in the ring absorbs the Seyfert continuum along our line of sight, we will derive important astrophysical properties of the ISM in the host galaxy.
