The Compact, Conical, Accretion‐Disk Warm Absorber of the Seyfert 1 Galaxy NGC 4051 and Its Implications for IGM‐Galaxy Feedback Processes

The Compact, Conical, Accretion‐Disk Warm Absorber of the Seyfert 1 Galaxy NGC 4051 and Its Implications for IGM‐Galaxy Feedback Processes

(Abridged) Using a 100 ks XMM-Newton exposure of NGC 4051, we show that the time evolution of the ionization state of the X-ray absorbers in response to the rapid and highly variable X-ray continuum constrains all the main physical and geometrical properties of an AGN Warm Absorber wind. The absorber …
