Abstract:

We will determine whether AGN can drive galactic-scale winds by observing NGC 3079, the best nearby candidate for such a wind. The edge-on spiral NGC 3079 hosts a Compton-thick AGN and is surrounded by a 40 kpc-scale soft X-ray nebula, the largest manifestation of outflow activity also seen in the optical and radio. Proving the outflow is AGN-driven requires Suzaku's unique abilities. We will measure the AGN luminosity using the HXD in the 15-40 keV range and the 2-10 keV band reflection spectrum to assess whether the AGN can radiatively-or-mechanically power the observed superwind. We will determine the origin of the soft X-ray nebula using the relative elemental abundances in the plasma. We can also detect any significant starburst through the 6.7 keV line emission it would create.
