Description PG 1244+026 is a .simple. Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxy, showing neither strong
reflection features at iron, nor dramatic spectral-variability. Spectral-timing
analysis strongly supports the soft X-ray excess being an additional component
rather than ionised reflection. Yet the current data show lag-frequency and
lag-energy spectra that are similar to those from sources apparently dominated
by ionised reflection. We propose a 600 ks observation (5 full orbits) of this
source to better constrain these higher order spectra, and interpret them in
light of the known spectral components. This will i) revolutionise our
understanding of the reverberation signal in a simple spectrum source; ii) allow
for the first time two independent spin methods to be tested in the same AGN.

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.
