X-ray Absorption Lines in the Candidate Tidal Disruption Event ASASSN-14li
Abstract
We report on a 94 ks observation of the TDE candidate ASASSN-14li, obtained on 8 December 2014 with XMM-Newton. The high resolution first-order RGS spectra show a number of significant absorption features in the 20-40 Angstroms band, most notably at 24.6, 25.25, 27.9, 29.9, 31.1, and 32.9 Angstroms.
