A Relativistic Disc Reflection Model for 1H0419-577: Multi-Epoch Spectral Analysis with XMM-Newton and NuSTAR
arXiv:1811.10932 · doi:10.1093/mnras/sty3228
Abstract
We present a detailed analysis of the spectral properties of the Seyfert 1 galaxy 1H0419-577, based on the archival XMM-Newton, NuSTAR and simultaneous Swift observations taken between 2002-2015. All the observations show a broad emission line feature at the iron band. We demonstrate that the broad band spectral variability at different levels can be explained by the combination of light-bending effects in the vicinity of the central black hole plus a thin warm absorber. We obtain a black hole spin of a > 0.98 by fitting the multi-epoch spectra with the relativistic disc reflection model. 1H0419-577 is accreting at 40% of its Eddington limit and its X-ray band shows the hardest powerlaw continuum in the highest flux state, which was previously more commonly seen in AGNs with a low accretion rate (e.g. ). The NuSTAR observation shows a cool coronal temperature of keV in the high flux state.
