MNRAS, in press", "categories": [ "astro-ph.HE" ], "abstract": "NuSTAR observed the bright Compton-thin, narrow line Seyfert 1 galaxy, NGC 5506, for about 56 ks. In agreement with past observations, the spectrum is well fit by a power law with Gamma~1.9, a distant reflection component and narrow ionized iron lines. A relativistically blurred reflection component is not required by the data. When an exponential high energy cutoff is added to the power law, a value of 720(+130,-190) keV (90% confidence level) is found. Even allowing for systematic uncertainties, we find a 3 sigma lower limit to the high-energy cutoff of 350 keV, the highest lower limit to the cutoff energy found so far in an AGN by NuSTAR.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-12-15T11:10:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "hard x-ray spectrum", "exponential high energy cutoff", "power law", "distant reflection component", "narrow line seyfert" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1093/mnras/stu2653", "journal": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "year": 2015, "month": "Mar", "volume": 447, "number": 4, "pages": 3029 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1334305, "adsabs": "2015MNRAS.447.3029M" } } }
