Abstract:

The NLS1 galaxy Mrk 478 has exceptionally unusual properties. It shows up to a factor of five variability while keeping its spectral shape constant. Previous short XMM-Newton observations show that it is probably reflection-dominated, where light-bending effects are at their extreme. This is the only known object that shows such high variability while remaining in a reflection-dominated state. All other known objects show reflection-dominated spectra only when in a faint state, making their study very difficult. This object is reflection-dominated yet bright enough to study with relatively short exposures.Here we propose to observe this object for 80 ks. The goal is to detect the reflection hump using Suzaku capabilities above 10 keV and probe light-bending around this black hole.
