TL;DR
This study uses Suzaku, Swift BAT, and XMM-Newton data to analyze the X-ray spectrum of 3C 382, revealing a relativistic broad FeK line, ionized reflection components, and insights into the accretion disk and AGN characteristics.
Contribution
First detailed Suzaku analysis of 3C 382 showing relativistic FeK line and ionized reflection, constraining disk geometry and ionization states, and comparing properties with other AGN types.
Findings
Detection of a broad relativistic FeK line from the accretion disk.
Identification of two ionized reflection components with different ionization levels.
Confirmation of a warm absorber and an intrinsic photon index of ~1.8.
Abstract
We present a long Suzaku observation of 3C 382. A Swift BAT spectrum from the 58-month survey is also analyzed, together with an archival XMM-Newton EPIC exposure. Our main result is the finding with Suzaku of a broad FeK line with a relativistic profile consistent with emission from an accretion disk at tens of gravitational radii from the central black hole. The XIS data indicate emission from highly ionized iron and allow us to set tight, albeit model-dependent, constraints on the inner and outer radii of the disk reflecting region, r_in~10r_g and r_out~20r_g, respectively, and on the disk inclination, i~30deg. Two ionized reflection components are possibly observed, with similar contributions of ~10% to the total continuum. A highly ionized one, with log_xi~3, which successfully models the relativistic line and a mildly ionized one, with log_xi~1.5, which models the narrow Fe K line…
