Description GT-We propose XMM observations of a sample of Seyfert 1.5--2 galaxies, which
will enable us to explore many of the current of issues relating to the nature
of active galaxies. The orientation implications of unification models will be
tested by considering whether Seyfert 1.5 -- 2 galaxies generally show a strong
Compton reflection component and by detailed modelling of the iron K line
profile. Similarly the role of scattering in producing the soft X-ray excesses
seen in the X-ray spectra of most Seyfert 1.5 - 2 galaxies will be investigated,
the physical conditions in the r^ant media determined and the relationship
between these scatters and the warm absorbers commonly observed in Seyfert 1.s
explored.

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.
