The [ITAL]Chandra[/ITAL] High-Energy Transmission Grating Observation of an X-Ray Ionization Cone in Markarian 3

We present a preliminary analysis of the first high-resolution X-ray spectrum of a Seyfert 2 galaxy, Markarian 3, obtained with the High-Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer on board the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. The high-energy spectrum (λ ≲ 4 Å) is dominated by reflection of the active galactic nucleus continuum radiation in …
