| Description | Thanks to high resolution spectroscopy, the X-ray emitting broad line region has been recently discovered and studied in few bright type 1 Seyferts. We propose to observe for 120 ks the bright AGN Mrk110, simultaneously with HST-COS. The goal is to model for the first time the panchromatic broad line region emission in a Narrow Line Seyfertvirgul1 galaxy. We will use the broad lines from the optical, UV and X-rays in a global modeling that will characterize the stratification, extend and ionization of the broad line emitting region, whose X- ray extension still awaits a full characterization. |

| 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. |
