High resolution spectroscopy of nearby AGN
Abstract
Description
In this paper the potential of high resolution spectroscopy of nearby AGN with XEUS is discussed. The focus is upon the energy resolution that is needed in order to disentangle the different spectral components. It is shown that there is an urgent need for high spectral resolution, and that a spectral resolution of 1 eV, if possible, leads to a significant increase in diagnostic power as compared to 2 eV resolution.
