Abstract GT- We propose an XMM survey of a deep optical quasar survey field (Marano field, alpha=03:15:09, delta=-55:13:57). The quasar survey is completeto B_J=22.0 and comprises 54 quasars and 18 Seyfert and narrow emission linegalaxies in a 0.69 deg^2 field. The field has also been surveyed at far IRwavelengths by ISO. The XMM observations are planned as an overlapping 4x4raster of 6.2 ksec each, resulting in exposures ranging from 25-100 ksec. Wewill study the X-ray/optical/IR properties of the quasars and narrow emissionline galaxies and investigate their contribution to the cosmic X-ray backgroundin the XMM energy range.

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.
