MCG-03-34-64 is a nearby Seyfert galaxy with extremely heavy X-ray absorption that makes it one of the hardest sources in the X-ray sky. Consequently this is a superb candidate for study of the faint comma extended comma circumnuclear X-ray emission. Chandra imaging results for other nearby Compton-thick AGN show structure on a scale of hundreds of pc coincident with the Narrow Line Region gas. Following on from those successful observations we request a 50 ks ACIS-S exposure to trace out the line emitting regions in MCG-03-34-64. We also ask for an HST orbit to map CORCHETE_OPENOiiiCORCHETE_CLOSE for comparison with the X-ray extent.

MCG-03-34-64是一颗邻近的赛弗特星系（Seyfert galaxy），其拥有极强的X射线吸收特性，是X射线天区中最难被观测的源之一。正因如此，它成为研究微弱、延展的核周X射线辐射的绝佳候选目标。此前针对其他邻近康普顿厚活动星系核（Compton-thick AGN）的钱德拉（Chandra）成像观测结果显示，其结构尺度可达数百秒差距（pc），且与窄线区气体相吻合。基于这些成功的观测工作，我们申请50千秒（ks）的ACIS-S曝光时长，以勾勒出MCG-03-34-64中的线发射区域。此外，我们还申请了1个哈勃空间望远镜（HST）轨道的观测时间，用于测绘CORCHETE_OPENOiiiCORCHETE_CLOSE结构，以便与X射线辐射的延展范围进行对比。
