After fitting various spectral models, an absorbed double power-law continuum and a blurred relativistic disk reflection model (kdblur) are found to be equally plausible descriptions of the data. While the softer power-law component ($\\Gamma$=2.11) of the double power-law model is entirely consistent with that found in Seyfert galaxies (and hence likely originates from a disk corona), the additional power law component is very hard ($\\Gamma$=1.05); amongst the AGN zoo, only flat-spectrum radio quasars have such hard spectra. Together with the very flat radio-spectrum displayed by this source, we suggest that it should instead be classified as a FSRQ. This leads to potential discrepancies regarding the jet inclination angle, with the radio morphology suggesting a large jet inclination but the FSRQ classification suggesting small inclinations. The kdblur model predicts an inner disk radius of at most 20 r$_g$ and relativistic reflection.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2014-08-08T15:10:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "xmm-newton view", "classification suggesting small inclinations", "first high signal-to-noise xmm-newton observations", "broad-line radio galaxy 3c", "blurred relativistic disk reflection model" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "The Astrophysical Journal", "year": 2014, "month": "Aug", "volume": 791, "number": 2, "pages": 119 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1305593, "adsabs": "2014ApJ...791..119B" } } }
