A dual velocity in the highly ionized wind of the luminous narrow line Seyfert galaxy PG 1211+143

Abstract

An extended XMM-Newton observation of the luminous narrow line Seyfert galaxy PG 1211+143 in 2014 has revealed a complex high velocity outflow, with components distinguished in velocity, ionization and short-term variability. We report here the detection of previously unseen spectral structure in Fe K absorption, finding a second velocity component of the highly ionized wind, apparently co-moving with a low ionization flow detected in the soft X-ray spectrum. Comparison with the first observation in 2001 finds a similar outflow energy rate.
