Abstract (from CDS):

We present XMM-Newton spectra of the Seyfert 2 Galaxy IRAS 00521-7054. A strong feature at ∼6 keV (observer's frame) can be formally fitted with a strong (EW = 1.3±0.3 keV in the rest frame) and broad Fe Kα line, extending down to 3 keV. The underlying X-ray continuum could be fitted with an absorbed power law (with Γ = 1.8±0.2 and NH= 5.9+0.6–0.7 x1022/cm2) plus a soft component. If due to relativistically smeared reflection by an X-ray illuminated accretion disk, the spin of the supermassive black hole (SMBH) is constrained to be 0.97+0.03–0.13(errors at 90% confidence level for one interesting parameter), and the accretion system is viewed at an inclination angle of 37°±4°. This would be the first type 2 active galactic nucleus reported with strong red Fe Kα wing detected which demands a fast rotating SMBH. The unusually large EW would suggest that the light bending effect is strong in this source. Alternatively, the spectra could be fitted by a dual-absorber model (though with a global χ2 higher by ∼6 for 283 dof) with NH1= 7.0±0.8x1022/cm2 covering 100% of the X-ray source, and NH2= 21.7+5.6–5.4x1022/cm2 covering 71%, which does not require an extra broad Fe Kα line.
