ABSTRACT
[truncated] We propose here a deep XMM-Newton observation (4 x 120 ks) of Ark120 -- and a joint 120ks Chandra/HETG observation to measure the narrow FeK line core -- to establish the origin of the soft excess (Comptonization or blurred reflection), its accretion disk properties and its black hole spin. If the soft excess originates from blurred reflection off an ionized accretion disk, we will be able to clearly detect and resolve, for the first time unambiguously in a BLS1 AGN, broad soft X-ray lines (e.g., OVII, OVIII and FeL). It will be the first very high S/N X-ray observation of a bare AGN.

PAPERS
Authors marked in red are (co-)investigators in the proposal

Classification of papers are:

- CLASS 2: papers that refer to published XMM-Newton results with complementary observations, follow-up analysis, or theoretical analysis
- CLASS 3: further deliveries which resulted from the program and which are made available to the community (e.g. source catalogues, processed images or spectra in public data base)
- CLASS 4: comments and suggestions from PI
