EPIC-pn (black), MOS1 (red), and MOS2 (green) spectra from the 2003 XMM-Newton observation of Mrk 1513, unfolded against a power law with Γ = 2. In addition to the soft excess component below 1 keV, all the spectra are characterised by a sharp drop around 7 keV. The emission deficit up to ∼9 keV is clearly noticeable in the pn data, but also confirmed by the two MOS detectors despite their rapidly declining effective area at these energies.
