Description
We present a detailed analysis of a joint XMM-Newton & NuSTAR observation of the nearby ($z=0.062$) luminous NLSy 1 galaxy TON S180 taken in 2016. We find that the observed steep soft excess is likely produced by Comptonization rather than relativistic reflection. By analyzing the broadband SED from 1 eV to 35 keV, we find that the overall intrinsic properties of the continuum can be accounted for by thermal emission from the disc (UV) plus Comptonized emission from the corona at a high fraction ($\sim70\%$) of the Eddington limit. We also find that there is a weak contribution of disc reflection with a moderate black hole spin.
