Abstract

We propose to observe the bright Seyfert 2 galaxy Mrk573 with Chandra ACIS-S for 40 ks, in order to perform X-ray spatially-resolved spectroscopy on the material responsible for the soft X-ray emission. A detailed ionization map of the soft X-ray emission of Mrk573 can be obtained with the proposed observation of 40 ks and can be compared with the ionization map of the NLR. Mrk573 represents the ideal object for such a kind of analysis, having the largest NLR among the Seyfert galaxies studied by HST and being a rather bright obscured AGN in the soft X-rays. Moreover, the detailed analysis of the NLR available in literature and its correlation with the radio ejecta contribute to make this object the best choice to investigate the origin of the soft X-ray emission in obscured AGN.
