X-ray absorption studies of quasar outflows with low-resolution CCD spectroscopy cannot reliably determine the outflow kinetic luminosity. We therefore propose an ambitious long-look observation to obtain the first high-quality grating spectroscopy of a mini-BAL quasar (PG 1114+445). Grating spectroscopy of a small sample of local Seyfert galaxies has led to highly regarded accurate determinations of their wind properties. The proposed extension of grating spectroscopy to the first mini-BAL quasar level AGN will determine if the outflow becomes as powerful as required in current AGN feedback scenarios. The 375,000 count EPIC spectra from this long-look will enable unprecedented complementary studies of high-energy absorption features and iron K emission.
Papers
Authors marked in red are (co-)investigators in the proposal
Classification of papers are:
- CLASS 1:
papers that present specific XMM-Newton observations
- CLASS 2:
papers that refer to published XMM-Newton results with
complementary observations, follow-up analysis, or theoretical analysis
- CLASS 3:
further deliveries which resulted from the program and which are made
available to the community (e.g. source catalogues, processed images or
spectra in public data base)
