Description According to galaxy formation models, cluster ellipticals formed in high density
regions through hierarchical merging of gas rich sub-components. In local
ellipticals, the strong correlation observed between black hole and bulge mass
implies that galaxy formation is inextricably linked to the build up of
supermassive black holes. We have found 6 high redshift, X-ray luminous, but
heavily absorbed AGN, embedded in strong bursts of star formation revealed in
the submillimetre. Our SCUBA survey shows that the immediate vicinities of these
objects contain large over-densities of ultraluminous star-forming galaxies
which will evolve to form clusters. Here we propose to use XMM-Newton to observe
the early evolutionary phases of QSOs in these proto-clusters.

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.
