Scientific paper

We propose a 50 ks observation of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 2110 with the HRMA+ACIS-S BI combination to investigate the detailed X-ray properties of the large-scale outflow powered by the AGN. We will study the X-ray properties of extended emission on scales smaller than ~0.5 kpc (the size of the extended emission as deduced from ROSAT HRI observations). X-ray studies of starburst galaxies show that starburst-powered outflows are very common in starburst galaxies (e.g., Dalhem et al. 1998), but little attention has been paid to the large-scale properties of AGN-driven outflows. Are they similar to starburst-driven `superwinds' or are they similar to AGN-driven jets? NGC 2110 has an AGN-powered outflow and we seek to determine the physical and X-ray properties of the outflow.
