Abstract | GT- Observations of luminous high redshift radio-loud quasars are proposed aspart of the XMM GT programme. The aims are to probe the local environment ofquasars at high redshift, by means of the intervening absorbing matter.Another goal is to learn more about the central engine from the X-raycontinuum plus Fe line / reflection reprocessing. Insight can also be gainedinto the evolutionary properties of quasars. A specific aim with theradio-loud quasars will be to study the effects of the relativistic jet onthe X-ray emission and also to determine whether any X-ray absorption isintrinsically associated with the quasars. |

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. |
