Abstract: We present a spectral analysis of a 200-kilosecond observation of the broad-line radio galaxy 3C 120, performed with the high-energy transmission grating spectrometer on board the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. We find (i) a neutral absorption component intrinsic to the source with a column density of log N (sub H) equals 20.67 plus or minus 0.05 square centimeters; (ii) no evidence for a warm absorber (WA) with an upper limit on the column density of just log N (sub H) less than 19.7 square cent…
