| Description | Ton 28 is a very luminous (Lbol=3e46 erg/s), low redshift (z=0.329), radio-quiet quasar, widely studied in the literature for its peculiar optical spectral properties. Ton 28 exhibits strong, blueshifted absorption and emission features, interpreted with the release of a large-scale outflowing material. Although Ton 28 has a clear ROSAT detection, it has been completely overlooked from X-ray observatories. Our main aim is to obtain a high quality spectrum of Ton 28, as it is one of the brightest AGN that still lacks an X-ray observation. Since the launch of a powerful wind is only seen in highly bright objects, Ton 28 also represents the most promising target to possess an ultra fast outflow. |

| 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. |
