Description We propose X-ray spectroscopic observations of broad-line (type-I)
QSOs with hard X-ray spectra in a hard-band selected sample of the
ASCA Large Sky Survey. The purpose is to study the origin of the
hardness of their X-ray spectra to reveal the nature of this new
polulation of sources, which could contribute significantly to the
hard X-ray background instead of narrow-line (type-II) AGNs. This
study is very important for understanding of the origin of the CXB,
and for a test of the standard AGN synthesis models based on the
unified scheme of the AGNs.

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.
