  We present here the results of a 180 ks Chandra-LETGS observation as part of
a large multi-wavelength campaign on Mrk 509. We study the warm absorber in Mrk
509 and use the data from a simultaneous HST-COS observation in order to assess
whether the gas responsible for the UV and X-ray absorption are the same. We
analyzed the LETGS X-ray spectrum of Mrk 509 using the SPEX fitting package. We
detect several absorption features originating in the ionized absorber of the
source, along with resolved emission lines and radiative recombination
continua. The absorption features belong to ions with, at least, three distinct
ionization degrees. The lowest ionized component is slightly redshifted (v =
+73 km/s) and is not in pressure equilibrium with the others, and therefore it
is not likely part of the outflow, possibly belonging to the interstellar
medium of the host galaxy. The other components are outflowing at velocities of
-196 and -455 km/s, respectively. The source was observed simultaneously with
HST-COS, finding 13 UV kinematic components. At least three of them can be
kinematically associated with the observed X-ray components. Based on the
HST-COS results and a previous FUSE observation, we find evidence that the UV
absorbing gas might be co-located with the X-ray absorbing gas and belong to
the same structure.
