Abstract
jats:titleAbstract</jats:title> jats:pWe present the results from a coordinated XMM-Newton + NuSTAR observation of the Seyfert 1 galaxy ESO 511−G030. With this joint monitoring program, we conduct a detailed variability and spectral analysis. The source remained in a low flux and very stable state throughout the observation period, although there are slight fluctuations of flux over long timescales. The broadband (0.3–78 keV) spectrum shows the presence of a power-law continuum with a soft excess below 2 keV, a relatively narrow iron Kjats:italicα</jats:italic> emission (∼6.4 keV), and an obvious cutoff at high energies. We find that the soft excess can be modeled by two different possible scenarios: a warm (jats:italickT</jats:italic> jats:sube</jats:sub> ∼ 0.19 keV) and optically thick (jats:italicτ</jats:italic> = 18–25) Comptonizing corona or a relativistic reflection from a high-density (jats:inline-formula jats:tex-math
