Evidence for a clumpy disc-wind in the star forming Seyfert,2 galaxy MCG--03--58--007


Abstract in English

We report the results of a detailed analysis of a deep simultaneous $130,rm ks$ textit{XMM-Newton & NuSTAR} observation of the nearby ($z=0.0315$) and bright ($L_{rm bol}sim3times10^{45},rm erg,s^{-1}$) starburst-AGN Seyfert,2 system: MCG--03--58--007. From the broadband fitting we show that most of the obscuration needs to be modeled with a toroidal type reprocessor such as texttt{MYTorus} citep{MurphyYaqoob09}. Nonetheless the signature of a powerful disc-wind is still apparent at higher energies and the observed rapid short-term X-ray spectral variability is more likely caused by a variable zone of highly ionized fast wind rather than by a neutral clumpy medium. We also detect X-ray emission from larger scale gas as seen from the presence of several soft narrow emission lines in the RGS, originating from a contribution of a weak star forming activity together with a dominant photoionized component from the AGN.
