We present the first high signal-to-noise XMM-Newton observations of the
broad-line radio galaxy 3C 411. After fitting various spectral models, an
absorbed double power-law continuum and a blurred relativistic disk reflection
model (kdblur) are found to be equally plausible descriptions of the data.
While the softer power-law component (Γ=2.11) of the double power-law
model is entirely consistent with that found in Seyfert galaxies (and hence
likely originates from a disk corona), the additional power law component is
very hard (Γ=1.05); amongst the AGN zoo, only flat-spectrum radio
quasars have such hard spectra. Together with the very flat radio-spectrum
displayed by this source, we suggest that it should instead be classified as a
FSRQ. This leads to potential discrepancies regarding the jet inclination
angle, with the radio morphology suggesting a large jet inclination but the
FSRQ classification suggesting small inclinations. The kdblur model predicts an
inner disk radius of at most 20 rg​ and relativistic reflection
