Abstract

We present results from a deep, coordinated XMM–Newton + NuSTARobservation of the Seyfert 2 galaxy IRAS 00521−7054. The NuSTAR data provide the first detection of this source in high-energy X-rays (E > 10 keV), and the broad-band data show this to be a highly complex source which exhibits relativistic reflection from the inner accretion disc, further reprocessing by more distant material, neutral absorption, and evidence for ionized absorption in an extreme, ultrafast outflow (⁠v_(out) ∼ 0.4c). Based on lamppost disc reflection models, we find evidence that the central supermassive black hole is rapidly rotating (a > 0.77), consistent with previous estimates from the profile of the relativistic iron line, and that the accretion disc is viewed at a fairly high inclination (i ∼ 59°). Based on extensive simulations, we find the ultrafast outflow is detected at ∼4σ significance (or greater). We also estimate that the extreme outflow should be sufficient to power galaxy-scale feedback, and may even dominate the energetics of the total output from the system.
