摘要:

本文介绍了对Seyfert 1.5 NGC 3227的100 ksXMM观测结果。我们对pn谱的最佳拟合宽带模型包括一个中等平坦(光子指数为1.57)的硬X射线幂律,被N_H = 3 * 10^21 cm^-2的冷气体吸收,加上一个强的软过剩,被建模为一个陡峭的幂律,光子指数为3.35,被N_H = 9 * 10^20 cm^-2的冷气体吸收。软过量归一化在~20 ks内增加~20%,与硬X射线成分无关,并且通过OM跟踪的UV连续谱也显示出在观察期间强烈的增加趋势,与软X射线发射的再处理一致。热吸收体的特征在EPIC和RGS中都很明显;我们模拟了两个层,log(xi)= 1.2和2.9 erg cm ^-1,柱密度相似(~1-2 * 10^21 cm^-2)。相对于高电离吸收体和低电离吸收体系统的流出速度估计分别为-(2060(+240,-170))km/s和-(420(+430,-190))km/s。Fe K α线宽FWHM为7000 +/- 1500 km/s;其推断的半径与BLR和Suganuma等人绘制的尘埃混响的内半径一致。6.0 keV附近的发射特征同样被建模为窄红移Fe K线,可能与磁盘“热点”相关,或作为相对论加宽Fe线轮廓的红翼。Swift-BAT和档案RXTE数据表明,最多弱康普顿反射(R <~ 0.5),以及接近100 keV的高能截止。从RXTE监测,我们发现初步证据的显着部分的Fe线通量跟踪连续变化的时间尺度< 700天。

英文摘要:

We present results of a 100 ks XMM observation of the Seyfert 1.5 NGC 3227. Our best-fit broadband model to the pn spectrum consists of a moderately flat (photon index 1.57) hard X-ray power-law absorbed by cold gas with N_H = 3 * 10^21 cm^-2, plus a strong soft excess, modeled as a steep power law with a photon index of 3.35, absorbed by cold gas with N_H = 9 * 10^20 cm^-2. The soft excess normalization increases by ~20% in ~20 ks, independently of the hard X-ray component, and the UV continuum, tracked via the OM, also shows a strong increasing trend over the observation, consistent with reprocessing of soft X-ray emission. Warm absorber signatures are evident in both the EPIC and RGS; we model two layers, with log(xi) = 1.2 and 2.9 erg cm s^-1, and with similar column densities (~1-2 * 10^21 cm^-2). The outflow velocities relative to systemic of the high- and low-ionization absorbers are estimated to be -(2060(+240,-170)) km/s and -(420(+430,-190)) km/s, respectively. The Fe K alpha line width FWHM is 7000 +/- 1500 km/s; its inferred radius is consistent with the BLR and with the inner radius of the dust reverberation-mapped by Suganuma et al. An emission feature near 6.0 keV is modeled equally well as a narrow redshifted Fe K line, possibly associated with a disk "hot-spot," or as the red wing to a relativistically broadened Fe line profile. Swift-BAT and archival RXTE data suggest at most weak Compton reflection (R <~ 0.5), and a high-energy cutoff near 100 keV. From RXTE monitoring, we find tentative evidence for a significant fraction of the Fe line flux to track continuum variations on time scales < 700 days.
