SUMMARY OF SEQUENCE NUMBER 700117

Title: PROBING RELATIVISTIC OUTFLOWS IN EXTREME NLS1

Observer: NANDRA

Subject Category: Active Galaxies and Quasars

Seq: 700117 ObsId: 00812

Long-term Plan bin: 18-Jul-2000

ABSTRACT

The most extreme objects in the class of ``Narrow-Line'' Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1) show absorption features which are probably due to oxygen in a relativistic wind outflowing from the nucleus. The features are blueshifted to 1-1.5 keV and therefore occur close to the peak efficiency of the MEG. We propose to use that instrument to confirm the features and measure their energy, strength and profiles to probe this unusual relativistic flow, which may represent an analogue of the BAL phenomenon observed in the UV.
