The first X-ray view of the extreme UV outflow quasar HE 0238-1904

0 For the best data quality, it is generally required to use all four FP-POS positions when observing at a given COS cenwave. See the COS Instrument Handbook for exceptions that may apply to observations with G130M/1291 or G160M.

Although I had no previous experience with the APT, the tool itself is very user-friendly and the extensive online material makes the entire process extremely smooth. 2051977381 ----- Attempting Submission 1 (Tue Jan 18 22:04:21 GMT 2022) ----- The first X-ray view of the extreme UV outflow quasar HE 0238-1904 We propose to observe with XMM-Newton (120 ks) and HST (2 orbits) the luminous quasar HE 0238-1904 (z=0.63), which is host to one of the best studied UV outflows to date. The inferred mass outflow rate and kinetic luminosity are typical of AGN where intense feedback is at work. HE 0238-1904 was detected in the XMM-Newton Slew Survey, but no X-ray spectrum of this exceptional object has ever been acquired with any major X-ray observatory. Our aim is to obtain for the first time high-quality X-ray data of HE 0238-1904, in order to understand the physical properties of its innermost regions, in terms of obscuration, intrinsic spectral shape, and possible presence of an X-ray counterpart to the UV wind. This observation will allow us to shed new light on the link between efficient accretion, powerful winds, and AGN feedback. The key aims of this progam are to probe the current state of the UV wind in HE 0238-1904 (previously detected by COS in 2009) with a combination of G130M and G160M observations, and to determine the ionising photon budget by building an accurate spectral energy distribution from the UV to the X-rays (through the coordinated XMM-Newton observation). 6 false false false false false false false SUPPORTED GALAXY QSO WIND NO This object was generated by the target selector and retrieved from the SIMBAD database. Fluxes (in erg/s/cm2/A) are taken from proposal ID 11541, datasets LB6804040, LB68040A0 and similar (LB68040xx). The observed continuum is approximately flat over the G130M+G160M range.
