SUMMARY OF SEQUENCE NUMBER 700169
Title: X-RAY OBSERVATIONS OF THE MEGAMASER SEYFERT 2 GALAXY NGC 4945
Observer: MADEJSKI
Subject Category: Active Galaxies and Quasars
Seq: 700169 ObsId: 00864
Long-term Plan bin: no LTS bin
ABSTRACT
We propose a 50 ks ACIS-I observation of the megamaser Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 4945, in order to understand the nature and physical conditions of the putative scattering medium, postulated to exist along the axis of the system; with the measured mass of the black hole via megamaser observations, a detailed study of this object is particularly fruitful. This observation will also allow an investigation of the starburst/superwind activity known to exist in the circumnuclear region.
