Description We are conducting a study of the absorbers in Seyfert galaxies, combining X-ray
measurements of the column densities with geometrical constraints derived from
radio and optical imaging to test the Unified model and possible modifications
to it. We wish to characterize the absorption in 22 Seyferts that have never
before been observed in hard X-rays. These observations would complete the X-ray
coverage of Seyferts with resolved radio jets, which we use to indicate the
orientation of the central engine. By comparing the absorbers to the alignment
of the Seyfert structures we have found evidence suggesting that unification
models with only a pc-scale absorber are incomplete: there is another absorber
aligned with the plane of the host galaxy on 100 pc scales that hides the BLR in some Sy 2s.

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.
