Chandra Proposal Id #09700043

Scientific paper

We request a total of 400 ksec of Chandra HETGS observations of the archetypal Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1068. The primary goal of these observations is to study the spatially extended photo-ionized emission line gas in the nucleus, and the ionization cone to the northeast. We will examine the Fe XXV lines, radiative recombination continua, He-like triplets and other emission lines to determine the ionization state of the gas. These observations will test the hypothesis that the extended emission is highly photo-ionized.
