Description We propose to obtain high signal-to-noise RGS spectra of the Broad Line Radio
Galaxies (BLRGs) 3C120 and 3C390.3 in order to investigate the physical
properties, the geometry and dynamics of their nuclear environments, which
are likely to be dominated by the presence of relativistic jets. We will
compare them with those of Seyfert galaxies, which are thought to be the
radio-quiet analogues of BLRGs, and for some of which good quality RGS spectra
have already been obtained. The associated EPIC spectra will provide data on
the strengths and profiles of the Fe K _\alpha emission lines, and will test
the hypothesis that such line may originate in the jet rather than in the
accretion disk.

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.
