MCG-6-30-15
The bright, narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy MCG 6-30-15 harbors one of the most studied AGN in high-energy astrophysics, boasting one of the most prominent, broadest Fe Kα lines ever seen, as well as the first warm absorber in which time variability was detected. The launch of XRISM will offer a revolutionary new perspective on this fascinating source, giving us the ability to characterize its spectral signatures in unprecedented detail. These features include narrow emission lines from distant reflection, a broadened and skewed Fe Kα line from inner disk reflection, and outflowing winds in absorption that span orders of magnitude in their physical and kinematic properties. Herein, we propose two observing scenarios for MCG6 during the PV phase of the XRISM mission.
