摘要:

方法.本文分析了Chandra低能透射光栅光谱仪的两个观测结果。我们研究了光谱响应突然通量减少的一个因素,这发生在第二次观察。结果我们检测到一个高度电离的吸收组件的流出速度为-4670公里/秒,在塞弗特1星系中观察到的最高流出速度的组件之一。该光谱包含一个相对论O VIII Ly α线,和四个吸收组件跨越范围的电离参数XI在0.07和3.19之间。在低态出现了产生CVI和CV辐射复合连续谱的发射分量。黑体温度随着第二次观测中观测到的通量的下降而下降。结论.对于所有的吸收器组件,我们排除了电离参数线性响应通量的减少了5倍。吸收体的可变性表明,四个检测到的组分中至少有三个位于0.02-1 pc的范围内。删节

英文摘要:

Methods. We analyse two observations taken with the Low Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer of Chandra. We investigated the spectral response to a sudden flux decrease by a factor of 5, which occurred during the second observation. Results. We detect a highly ionised absorption component with an outflow velocity of -4670 km/s, one of the highest outflow velocity components observed in a Seyfert 1 galaxy. The spectra contain a relativistic O VIII Ly alpha line, and four absorption components spanning a range in ionisation parameter xi between 0.07 and 3.19. An emission component producing radiative recombination continua of C VI and C V appears during the low state. The black body temperature decreases with the drop in flux observed in the second observation. Conclusions. For all absorber components we exclude that the ionisation parameter linearly responded to the decrease in flux by a factor of 5. The variability of the absorber suggest that at least three out of four detected components are located in the range 0.02-1 pc. ABRIDGED
