| Description | GT-We propose to observe bright AGN (2-10 keV fluxes around 1E-11 cgs) for which X-ray broad-band colours in the 0.1-10 keV band are highly suggestive of complex absorption. We believe these objects might have either both a warm and a cold absorber or a cold absorber which does not fully cover the central source. Our proposed XMM/EPIC spectroscopy aims at distinguishing between these scenarios and the proper characterisation of these complex absorption features. |

| Mission Description | The European Space Agency's (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESA's second cornerstone of the Horizon 2000 Science Programme. It carries 3 high throughput X-ray telescopes with an unprecedented effective area, and an optical monitor, the first flown on a X-ray observatory. The large collecting area and ability to make long uninterrupted exposures provide highly sensitive observations. Since Earth's atmosphere blocks out all X-rays, only a telescope in space can detect and study celestial X-ray sources. The XMM-Newton mission is helping scientists to solve a number of cosmic mysteries, ranging from the enigmatic black holes to the origins of the Universe itself. Observing time on XMM-Newton is being made available to the scientific community, applying for observational periods on a competitive basis. |
