Accepted for publication in MNRAS", "categories": [ "astro-ph.HE" ], "abstract": "We present results from a joint Xmm-Newton/NuSTAR monitoring of the Seyfert 1 NGC 4593, consisting of 5x20 ks simultaneous observations spaced by two days, performed in January 2015. The source is variable, both in flux and spectral shape, on time-scales down to a few ks and with a clear softer-when-brighter behaviour. In agreement with past observations, we find the presence of a warm absorber well described by a two-phase ionized outflow. The source exhibits a cold, narrow and constant Fe K alpha line at 6.4 keV, and a broad component is also detected. The broad-band (0.3-79 keV) spectrum is well described by a primary power law with Gamma=1.6-1.8 and an exponential cut-off varying from 90(+40,-20) keV to >700 keV, two distinct reflection components, and a variable soft excess correlated with the primary power law. This campaign shows that probing the variability of Seyfert 1 galaxies on different time-scales is of prime importance to investigate the high-energy emission of AGNs.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-08-09T15:58:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "x-ray spectral analysis", "high-energy monitoring", "primary power law", "xmm-newton", "clear softer-when-brighter behaviour" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
