Description Observations of luminous, high-redshift quasars in the submillimetre band
suggest that a high fraction of these AGN coexist alongside powerful,
dust-enshrouded star formation in their host galaxies. They thus bear all the
hallmarks of youthful galaxies, inhabiting an environment rich in gas and dust.
We propose to obtain sensitive XMM--Newton spectroscopy of high-redshift,
submm-luminous quasars from our intensive, multiwavelength study. This will
establish whether there is any correlation between anomalous X-ray spectra (e.g.
intrinsic absorption) and the presence of starbursts and/or large masses of
molecular gas. This has significant implications for our understanding of the
relation between the formation of AGN and their massive host galaxies.

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.
