| Abstract: |
We present the first results of a one week observation in January 2002 of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 5548, using the Chandra low and high resolution grating spectrometers. The combined spectrum covers the entire 0.1-10 keV range with high resolution and unprecedented signal to noise ratio. Multiple velocity components and a range of at least two decades in ionisation parameter are discovered. A major outburst occured during this week long observation, and we obtained good spectra of the burst as well as of the pre- and postflare quiescent phase. Comparison of these spectra shows significant time variability in both resolved broadened emission components (up to velocities of 10000 km/s) as well as in the narrow absorption components. The implications in terms of both warm absorber and accretion disk will be discussed. |
