XMM/RGS spectra obtained during an intermediate flux state (June 2009) revelead the presence of multi-component ionized gas outflowing at ~5000 km/s. In HST/COS data taken a few months later (Oct 2009-Feb 2010) we found evidence for smooth, broad and weak CIV absorption. The global behavior of the gas in both bands can be explained by variation of the covering factor and/or column density, possibly due to transverse motion of absorbing clouds at Broad Line Region scale. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Observations Description ------------------------ For HST, we request a non-disruptive ToO that we will trigger at the same time as XMM. This will ensure that within 2.5 weeks from the trigger we will observe the source both in X-ray and UV. This time scale works very well with our prior results (Longinotti et al. 2013, ApJ, 766, 104) that suggest that the absorber in the UV is persistent on a time scale of weeks/months. During XMM-A013, Mrk 335 has two XMM visibility windows of about 6 weeks in the period June-July and December-January, fully compatible with visibility for HST, which runs from May 18 through February 10. To obtain HST/COS spectra of Mrk 335 using gratings G130M and G160M, comparable to those in Longinotti et al. 2013, requires 2 orbits. For gratings G130M and G160M, we use three central wavelength settings and multiple FP-POS positions to bridge the gap between detector segments, and to avoid detector and flat-field artifacts. In addition, we will use grating G140L/1280 with four FP-POS positions to measure absorption in OVI 1034 and Lybeta. At the historical mean flux level of 5.6e-14 erg cm^{-2} s^{-1} A^{-1} at 1390 A (Dunn et al. 2006, PASP, 118, 572), using the on-line COS ETC shows that in the additional 4 orbits from our allocation (9320 s exposure time) we 13814( 2) - 17-Jul-2014 17:19:35 - [ 2] obtain a S/N of 17.5 in the continuum, comparable to the M-grating exposures described in Longinotti et al. 2013. We will organize our observation as two visits: The first will use 2 orbits for G130M and G160M, and one additional orbit for G140L; the second visit will use 3 more orbits of just G140L. Both visits should be spaced as closely in time as possible. To allow for the range of variability observed in Mrk 335, we have chosen BUFFER TIMES significantly shorter than the 2/3 factor recommended in the ETC. We have also chosen the BUFFER TIMES to be integer multiples of (exposure time - 110 s) to minimze the overheads due to buffer readouts between successive exspoures. These observations pose no bright object concerns. All historical flux levels for Mrk 335 lie below the bright object limits for COS. Since Mrk 335 has been observed successfully before, there are also no surrounding field objects that are too bright. This is confirmed by the BOT tool for GALEX in APT. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 13814( 2) - 17-Jul-2014 17:19:35 - [ 3] TARGET LIST Fixed Targets ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tar| Target | Target | Target |Coord | Radial | Flux data No | Name | Description | Position |Eqnx | Vel. | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 MRK-335 GALAXY, ACCRETION DISK, RA=00H06M19.5000S +/- 0.1", J2000 Z = V = 13.85 5.6e-14 at 1390 A NUCLEUS, SEYFERT DEC=+20D12'10.00" +/- 0.1" 0.025785 Reference Frame: ICRS Comments: Coordinates are copied from the prior successful GTO observation of this object in proposal 11524. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 13814( 2) - 17-Jul-2014 17:19:35 - [ 4] Visit: 01 Visit Requirements: SCHED 100%; ON HOLD ; TOO RESPONSE TIME 15.0D On Hold Comments: Triggered by Swift; coordinated with XMM-Newton Additional Comments: Coordinate this first visit as close in time as possible after the ToO observation with XMM is triggered. For HST this should be a non-disruptive ToO, scheduled within ~2.5 weeks of the trigger. The second visit should follow the first as close in time as possible, but not more than 2-3 days later.
