Description | So far there is only one AGN, Ark 564, whose power spectral density (PSD) shows a multi-Lorentzian shape which is similar to that seen in BHBs emitting in the .very high state. Recently we discovered that the PSD of the NLS1 RX J1140.1+0307, which is claimed to harbor an intermediate mass black hole with a super-Eddington accretion rate, also appears to have more than one Lorentzian component. However, the previous XMM observation is too short to extend the PSD to lower frequency. Therefore we propose a long (120 ks) XMM-Newton observation of RX J1140.1+0307, in order to perform a deep investigation of its PSD, along with other variability properties. Because such phenomenon observed in the PSD of AGN are extremely rare, it is important to study the best examples in detail. |

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. |
