Abstract | We propose a 45 ks XMM-Newton observation of the high redshift (z=2.3)hyperluminous infrared galaxy IRAS F10214+4724. The first X-ray detection fromthis gravitationally-lensed object will be aimed. Previous observations stronglysuggest that this object harbours a Compton-thick AGN. Weak reflected X-rayemission is expected. The inherent source-size dependency of lensing:differential magnification, offes a possible way to constrain the size of theX-ray reflection region and the contribution of the AGN to the great bolometricluminosity. |

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. |
