A Massive X-ray Outflow from the Quasar Pds 456
We report on XMM-Newton spectroscopic observations of the luminous radio-quiet quasar PDS 456. The hard X-ray spectrum of PDS 456 shows a deep absorption trough (constituting 50% of the continuum) at energies above 7 keV in the quasar rest frame, which can be attributed to a series of blueshifted K-shell absorption edges due to highly ionized iron. The higher resolution soft X-ray Reflection Gr...
متن کاملExtreme X - ray variability in the luminous quasar PDS 456
We present evidence from BeppoSAX and XMM-Newton of extreme X-ray variability in the high luminosity radio-quiet quasar PDS 456, the most luminous known AGN at z < 0.3. Repeated X-ray flaring is found in PDS 456, over the duration of the 340 ksec long BeppoSAX observation. The X-ray flux doubles in just 30 ksec, whilst the total energy output of the flaring events is as high as 10 51 erg. Under...
متن کاملPDS 456 : an Extreme Accretion Rate Quasar ?
We present quasi-simultaneous ASCA and RXTE observations of the most luminous known AGN in the local (z < 0.3) universe, the recently discovered quasar PDS 456. Multiwavelength observations have been conducted which show that PDS 456 has a bolometric luminosity of ∼ 10 erg s peaking in the UV part of the spectrum. In the X-ray band the 2-10 keV (rest-frame) luminosity is 10 erg s. The broad-ban...
متن کامل0 Studies of the high luminosity quasar , PDS 456
X-ray and multi-wavelength observations of the most luminous known local (z < 0.3) AGN, the recently discovered radio-quiet quasar PDS 456, are presented. The spectral energy distribution shows that PDS 456 has a bolometric luminosity of 10 erg/s, peaking in the UV. The X-ray spectrum obtained by ASCA and RXTE shows considerable complexity. The most striking feature observed is a deep, highlyio...
