Detecting Compton Reflection and a Broad Iron Line in MCG−5-23-16 with RXTE
We report the detection with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer of a Compton reflection signature in the Seyfert galaxy MCG−5-23-16. RXTE also resolves the Fe Kα fluorescence line with FWHM ∼ 48,000 km s. This measurement provides the first independent confirmation of ASCA detections in Seyfert galaxies of broad Fe Kα lines that are thought to be the signature of emission from the inner regions of...
متن کاملVariation of the broad X-ray iron line in MCG–6-30-15 during a flare
We report results on the broad iron emission line of the Seyfert galaxy MCG–6-30-15, obtained from the second long ASCA observation in 1997. The time-averaged profile of the broad line is very similar to that seen with ASCA in 1994, so confirming the detailed model fit then obtained. A bright flare is seen in the light curve, during which the continuum was soft. At that time the emission line p...
متن کاملA two zone model for the broad Iron line emission in MCG-6-30-15
We reanalyze the ASCA and BeppoSAX data of MCG-6-30-15, using a double zone model for the Iron line profile. In this model, the X-ray source is located around ≈ 10 Schwarzschild radius and the regions interior and exterior to the X-ray source produce the line emission. We find that this model fits the data with similar reduced χ as the standard single zone model. The best fit inclination angle ...
متن کاملCompton reflection and iron fluorescence in AGN and GBHCs
Any cold, optically-thick matter in the vicinity of an accreting black hole, such as the accretion disk, can intercept and reprocess some fraction of the hard X-ray continuum emission, thereby imprinting atomic features into the observed spectrum. This process of ‘X-ray reflection’ primarily gives rise to a broad reflection ‘hump’ peaking at ∼ 30 keV and an iron emission line at 6.4 keV. In thi...
متن کاملA Chandra Hetgs Spectral Study of the Iron K Bandpass in Mcg–6-30-15: a Narrow View of the Broad Iron Line
We present a high resolution X-ray spectrum of the iron K bandpass in MCG–6-30-15 based on a 522 ksec observation with Chandra’s High Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer. The Chandra spectrum is consistent with the presence of a relativistically broadened, highly redshifted iron Kα emission line with a similar profile to previous observations. A number of narrow features are detected above...
