Abstract (from CDS):

We report on the detection of Fe Kα emission in F04103-2838, an ultraluminous infrared galaxy [ULIRG; logLIR/L☉≥12] optically classified as a LINER. Previous Chandra observations suggested the presence of both a starburst and an active galactic nucleus (AGN) in this source. A deeper (∼20 ks) XMM-Newton spectrum reveals an Fe Kα line at rest-frame energy ∼6.4 keV, which is consistent with cold neutral iron. The best-fit spectral model indicates that the Fe Kα line has an equivalent width of ∼1.6 keV. The hard X-ray emission is dominated by a Compton-thick AGN with an intrinsic 0.2-10 keV luminosity of ∼1044 ergs/s, while the soft X-ray emission is from ∼0.1 keV gas attributed to the starburst. The X-ray spectrum of this source bears a striking resemblance to that of the archetypal luminous infrared galaxy NGC 6240, despite differences in merger state and infrared properties.
