Figure 2: The ratios (data/model) resulting from fitting a power law to the 2-12 keV EPIC data ( pn data in black, MOS in red) and extrapolating to lower energies in the case of the QSO ( from top left) a) 1307+085 (z = 0.155): the soft excess emission in this source proves to be best fitted with a blackbody (i.e. model A; see Table 10); b) 1226+023 ( z = 0.158): note that the excess is broader than in 1307+085 (the two QSOs have a similar z) which requires two blackbodies (i.e. model E; see Table 10) to be parametrized; c) 1352+183 (z = 0.158) for which model C (i.e. bremsstrahlung + power law) gives the best fit. Bottom right: d) the ratio resulted fitting with model A the EPIC data of 1440+356 (z = 0.079). Note the large residuals at high energies. This QSO is best fitted with a double power law model (i.e. model D; see Table 10). |

The ratios between the EPIC data ( pn data in black, MOS in red) and a fit with single warm absorber model for 1114+445 ( left) and 2214+139 ( right):
the large residuals below 1 keV strongly suggest the presence of a complex "multi-component'' warm absorber. Note also the residuals around 5-6 keV which indicate Fe K![]() |
