| Description | Recently a short (4ks) XMM-Newton observation of the intermediate Seyfert 1.8galaxy ESO113-G010 (z=0.0257) has revealed a narrow emission line at 5.4keV(object rest-frame), detected at 99% confidence level. This line can beattributed to the signature of redshifted iron emission from an orbiting hotspoton the inner accretion disk surface. Performing phase-resolved X-rayspectroscopy of this object will enable us to follow the evolution of the lineprofile over the orbital timescale of the inner accretion disk. Measurement ofthe line parameters (e.g., energy shift, intensity) will give us the inclinationof the disk, radial location of the hotspot and even an estimate of the blackhole mass. (abridged) |

| 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. |
