  Title: MONITORING THE REPROCESSED FLUX IN MCG-5-23-16 WITH ASCA AND XTE                


Abstract:
 We propose to observe MCG-5-23-16 with ASCA and XTE to monitor the shape and
 variability of the continuum and reprocessed flux. Our goal is to measure the iron
 fluorescence line and Compton reflection component simultaneously on short and long
 timescales to determine their origins. This science can only be done with joint ASCA
 and XTE observations. MCG-5-23-16 is an excellent candidate because it is bright,
 variable, and its iron line shows both a narrow and broad component. This suggests
 that we will almost certainly be investigating the accretion disk and the molecular torus.
