Harrison California Institute of Technology N ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Abstract The deep minimum state of AGNs is characterized by a strongly suppressed or even absent primary continuum. As the continuum disappears weak spectral features like relativistic iron lines or narrow soft X-ray emission lines from ionised plasmas become highly significant and their parameters can be determined. Therefore deep minimum states offer unique possibilities to investigate in detail the physics of the reprocessed components in AGN, including the immediate vicinity of the supermassive black hole. Applying our experience (several deep minimum observations) we propose 2 triggered 10ks XMM snapshot, one 80ks XMM follow-up simultaneous with one 80ks NuSTAR one 2-orbit HST observation of an AGN in deep minimum state. We will identify deep minimum states mainly based on Swift and XMM-Newton slews. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Observations Description ------------------------ During the first orbit we need a 30s aquisition image (MIRRORB ACQ/Image PSA) and then a 1800s exposure with G130M centered at 1291A. During the second orbit we need a 1800s exposure with G160M at 1623A ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 15439( 5) - 06-Jul-2018 21:17:10 - [ 2] TARGET LIST Fixed Targets ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tar| Target | Target | Target |Coord | Radial | Flux data No | Name | Description | Position |Eqnx | Vel. | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2 MRK-335 GALAXY, QUASAR RA=00H06M19.5372S +/- 0.1", J2000 V = 13.85 DEC=+20D12'10.62" +/- 0.1" Reference Frame: Other: SIMBAD Extended: NO Comments: This object was generated by the targetselector and retrieved from the SIMBAD database. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 15439( 5) - 06-Jul-2018 21:17:10 - [ 3] Visit: 01 (Observation 1) Visit Requirements: SCHED 100% On Hold Comments: Additional Comments: Exposures ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Exp | Target | Instr | Oper. | Aper |Spectral|Central| Optional |Num| Time | Special Num | Name | Config | Mode | or FOV |Element |Waveln.| Parameters |Exp| (Total) | Requirements ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 MRK-335 COS/NUV ACQ/IMA PSA MIRRORB 1 30 S (30 GE S) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2 MRK-335 COS/FUV TIME-TA PSA G130M 1291 SEGMENT=BOTH, 1 2500 S G BUFFER-TIME=1110, FP-POS=3 see below (1045 S) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3 MRK-335 COS/FUV TIME-TA PSA G130M 1291 SEGMENT=BOTH, 1 1250 S G BUFFER-TIME=1110, FP-POS=4 see below (1055 S) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4 MRK-335 COS/FUV TIME-TA PSA G160M 1623 BUFFER-TIME=2600, FP-POS=ALL, 1 675 S G SEGMENT=BOTH see below (2320 S) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sub Exposures ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Target | Exp |Instr | Oper. | Aper |Spectral|Cent.|Primary |Secondary |Iteration |CR-SPLIT |Orbit |Duration Name | Num |Config | Mode | or FOV |Element |Wave.|Pattern Pos |Pattern Pos |Num |Num |Number | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ MRK-335 1 COS/NUV ACQ/IMA PSA MIRRORB none none none none 1 N/A GE MRK-335 2 COS/FUV TIME-TA PSA G130M 1291 none none none none 1 1045.0 S G MRK-335 3 COS/FUV TIME-TA PSA G130M 1291 none none none none 1 1055.0 S G MRK-335 4 COS/FUV TIME-TA PSA G160M 1623 none none none 1 2 580.0 S G MRK-335 4 COS/FUV TIME-TA PSA G160M 1623 none none none 2 2 580.0 S G MRK-335 4 COS/FUV TIME-TA PSA G160M 1623 none none none 3 2 580.0 S G MRK-335 4 COS/FUV TIME-TA PSA G160M 1623 none none none 4 2 580.0 S G 15439( 5) - 06-Jul-2018 21:17:10 - [ 4] Summary Form for Proposal 15439 Item Used in this proposal ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apertures PSA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Configurations COS/FUV, COS/NUV ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Opmodes ACQ/IMAGE, TIME-TAG ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Optional Parameters BUFFER-TIME=1110, BUFFER-TIME=2600, FP-POS=3, FP-POS=4, FP-POS=ALL, SEGMENT=BOTH ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Requirements SCHED 100% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Spectral Elements G130M, G160M, MIRRORB ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Target Names MRK-335 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
