Description We propose simultaneous XMM-Newton and CXO observations of two bright Seyfert 1
galaxies as part of a long-term programme to ensure that such observations
are performed for the 20 brightest Seyfert 1 galaxies during the lifetimes of
the missions. The targets, NGC 526A and MCG-2-58-22, were selected since they
are the brightest members of the sample for which neither XMM-Newton nor
CXO/HETGS observations have been made/scheduled with adequate signal-to-noise.
The proposed observations will enable a number of important scientific issues to
be addressed. For example, we will be able to decouple the narrow and broad Fe
Kalpha line components: a crucial step in determining the real importance of
relativistic effects close to the black hole.

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.
