A Study of the Soft X-Ray Emission Lines in NGC 4151. II. The Internal Plasma Properties

2021 
We showcase a tool suite that enables the fitting of soft X-ray spectra in active galactic nuclei (AGN), without the need for specialist software, allowing access to AGN physics for school students. While these standardised Python tools were useful for measuring velocities (Note I), they offered significantly fewer capabilities for radiative recombination continua (RRC), and R and G ratios, utilised to obtain the internal plasma properties within the out owing wind seen in NGC 4151. Although further work is required for these tools to be used in outreach projects, we present findings of the plasma temperature and density in NGC 4151 spanning a 15 year period.
