Scientific paper

We propose to observe the nearby Seyfert galaxy NGC4151 with HRC for 50 ks and ACIS-S 1/8 subarray for 200 ks, to study in detail the morphology and spectral properties - both continuum and line emission - of the circumnuclear X-ray diffuse emission, from ~100 pc to a few kpc from the SMBH. We will also study the XRB population of these regions down to flux limits consistent with those of Galactic XRBs, to explore the effect of the luminous AGN on the star-formation processes, of which these sources are an obscuration independent marker. The unprecedented view of the interaction of the SMBH winds with the surrounding ISM will generate strong physical constraints on the properties of this ISM, and will place tight constraints on nonthermal jet emission in low-power radio-quiet AGNs.
