Abstract We propose for a 75ksec XMM-Newton observation of the Type 1 AGN AXJ0447-0627. Ashort 20ksec observation revealed the presence of a bright and prominent set oflines in the Fe rest frame energy range. This set of lines could be describedeither as 5 narrow Gaussian line, which could be produced by a medium far fromthe central source, or as a combination of relativistic (from a ionizedaccretion disk) and non relativistic (emitted by neutral matter distant from theblack hole) Fe lines. In AXJ0447-0627 there is an observed property that makesthis object unique and deserve further attention: the very high EW of thiscomplex of lines (virgul2 keV).

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.
