The mass cooling rate (Mdot) and intrinsic column density (NH), expressed in units of 1022 cm−2, were derived from a Hidden Cooling Flow model fit to the XMM RGS spectrum of PKS 0745-191. This analysis reveals that the XMM RGS data support the presence of substantial cooling within the system. Specifically, the inferred mass cooling rate is Mdot ﹩=33{2}_{-80}^{+88}﹩ M yr−1, indicating active and significant cooling of gas at the core of PKS 0745-191. A Galactic column density of 4.2 × 1021 cm−2 has been applied (J. S. Sanders et al. 2014).
