Description We request 450ks, to survey with EPIC 3 sq. deg. we mapped with ISO at 7, 15,
90 and 175 microns, and followed up in the optical, near-IR and radio, to give:
(i) a sample of virgul1000 X-ray galaxies, allowing selection of statistically
representative subsamples of galaxies by activity [Seyfert 1, Seyfert 2,
starburst], by X-ray luminosity and by degree of obscuration;
(ii) X-ray spectral information for a large sample of galaxies for which there
is excellent multi-wavelength data from the radio to the UV;
(iii) the best opportunity of resolving, through direct IR to X-ray comparisons,
the issue of dust extinction in AGN, and of determining the contributions of
starbursts and dust-obscured AGN to the cosmic far-infrared background.

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.
