Final verdict from XMM-Newton: the X-ray obscured Seyfert galaxy NGC 5506 has a broad Fe Kα line

We present the first unambiguous evidence of a broad (Gaussian width ∼330 eV) component of the iron Kα fluorescent emission line in the X-ray obscured narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy, NGC 5506. This is the main result of a spectroscopic monitoring campaign on this source, performed with the XMM–Newton observatory between …
