Presence of ionized reflection in the Broad Line Radio Galaxy (BLRG) 3C109 and its connection to the jet

Relativistic Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) jets, whose formation is poorly understood, have a significant impact on the evolution of their host galaxies. BLRGs, the radio-loud analogues to Seyfert 1 galaxies, are excellent sources to study the AGN jet-forming region, as they are neither totally obscured nor overpowered by the jet. We present recent high-quality X-ray (NuSTAR and XMM-Newton), optical/UV (XMM-OM) and radio (13.5-18 GHz) observations of 3C109 (z = 0.3056), which is one of the most luminous BLRGs. We find that 3C109 possesses long-term variability but no significant short-term variability in the X-ray band. Using the X-ray reflection spectrum along with the optical/UV data, we can put stringent constraints on parameters like the high-energy cutoff, reflection fraction and inner-disk radius. The radio data will be used to connect the central engine, as probed by X-rays, to any changes in the jet. Our results will be placed into the wider context of what is known about the jet formation in BLRGs.
