摘要:

我们描述了对原型塞弗特1星系NGC 5548的七个宽带X射线连续观测的分析,这些观测是使用XMM-Newton或Chandra获得的,同时使用NuSTAR和INTEGRAL进行高能(> 10 keV)观测。这些数据是作为2013年夏季至2014年初开展的多波长活动的一部分获得的。我们发现至少有一个观察,我们归因于热康普顿化的高能量截止的证据,和一个恒定的反射分量,这可能是由于中性材料至少几个光月远离连续源。我们确认存在强的,部分覆盖的X射线吸收的解释通过软X射线波段的通量急剧下降。遮蔽物似乎是可变的列密度和覆盖分数的时间尺度短至几周。在0.3-400 keV范围内的平均光谱与实际康普顿化模型的拟合表明,如果假设球形几何形状,则存在温度为40(+40,-10)keV和光学深度为2.7(+0.7,-1.2)的热日冕。

英文摘要:

We describe the analysis of the seven broad-band X-ray continuum observations of the archetypal Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 5548 that were obtained with XMM-Newton or Chandra, simultaneously with high-energy (> 10 keV) observations with NuSTAR and INTEGRAL. These data were obtained as part of a multiwavelength campaign undertaken from the summer of 2013 till early 2014. We find evidence of a high-energy cut-off in at least one observation, which we attribute to thermal Comptonization, and a constant reflected component that is likely due to neutral material at least a few light months away from the continuum source. We confirm the presence of strong, partial covering X-ray absorption as the explanation for the sharp decrease in flux through the soft X-ray band. The obscurers appear to be variable in column density and covering fraction on time scales as short as weeks. A fit of the average spectrum over the range 0.3-400 keV with a realistic Comptonization model indicates the presence of a hot corona with a temperature of 40(+40,-10) keV and an optical depth of 2.7(+0.7,-1.2) if a spherical geometry is assumed.
