EXPLORING THE HARD X-RAY SPECTRUM OF THE HIGH EDDINGTON BROAD-LINE RADIO GALAXY

The Xray reflection spectrum from the inner parts of the accretion disk is oneof the key sources of information about the structure of the innermost regionsaround the black hole. While it has provided us with valuable details inradioquiet AGN, few radioloud objects have been studied with similar detail.However these studies of the innermost regions are needed, as it is there thatrelativistic jets are thought to be launched. Here, we propose to study thereflection spectrum of the broadline radio galaxy 3C 109. 3C 109 is aparticularly interesting target as it is the only radio galaxy with an Eddingtonfraction exceeding unity. Our findings will be placed into context of studies ofreflection in other radioloud and radioquiet sources. truncated!, Please see actual data for full text [truncated!, Please see actual data for full text]
