Abstract	We propose a 30 ks observation with XMM of the bright Seyfert galaxiesNGC5506. The main goal is to study in detail the iron line complex.BeppoSAX observations suggest the presence of a narrow component besidesthe relativistic one. The proposed XMM observation will permit to disentanglethe two components with great accuracy.By products of the proposed observation are: spatial and spectral analysis ofthe soft excess, which will possibly clarify its nature; variability studies,which in principle can shed light on the primary emission mechanism.

Mission Description	The European Space Agencys (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESAs 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 Earths 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.
