Kiloparsec-scale Neutral Iron Kα Emission in the Starburst-AGN NGC 4945: A Relic AGN Outflow?

Kiloparsec-scale Neutral Iron Kα Emission in the Starburst-AGN NGC 4945: A Relic AGN Outflow?

NGC 4945 contains a well-known heavily obscured active galactic nucleus (AGN) at its core, with prior reports of strong nuclear and off-nuclear neutral Fe K α emission due to the AGN activity. We report the discovery of very extended Fe K α emission with the XMM-Newton EPIC pn in a ∼5 kpc by ∼10 kpc...
