The XMM-Newton/HST view of the obscuring outflow in the Seyfert Galaxy
  Mrk 335 observed at extremely low X-ray flux
  The Seyfert Galaxy Mrk 335 is known for its frequent changes of flux and
spectral shape in the X-ray band occurred during recent years. These variations
may be explained by the onset of a wind that previous, non-contemporaneous
high-resolution spectroscopy in X-ray and UV bands located at accretion disc
scale. A simultaneous new campaign by XMM-Newton and HST caught the source at
an historical low flux in the X-ray band. The soft X-ray spectrum is dominated
by prominent emission features, and by the effect of a strong ionized absorber
with an outflow velocity of 5-6X10$^3$~km~s$^{-1}$. The broadband spectrum
obtained by the EPIC-pn camera reveals the presence of an additional layer of
absorption by gas at moderate ionization covering 80% of the central source,
and tantalizing evidence for absorption in the Fe~K band outflowing at the same
velocity of the soft X-ray absorber. The HST-COS spectra confirm the
simultaneous presence of broad absorption troughs in CIV, Ly alpha, Ly beta and
OVI, with velocities of the order of 5000 km~s$^{-1}$ and covering factors in
the range of 20-30%. Comparison of the ionic column densities and of other
outflow parameters in the two bands show that the X-ray and UV absorbers are
likely originated by the same gas. The resulting picture from this latest
multi-wavelength campaign confirms that Mrk 335 undergoes the effect of a
patchy, medium-velocity outflowing gas in a wide range of ionization states
that seem to be persistently obscuring the nuclear continuum.
