Abstract We propose to obtain XMM-Newton data for a complete sample of the 20 brightestType 2 AGN drawn from virgul100000 low-z AGN in the SDSS DR4. The sample members havea flux in the OIII5007 emission line of at least 4E-14 ergs/cm2/s. This samplehas approved Spitzer spectroscopic observations and each galaxy has a wealth ofinformation about the AGN and its host galaxy derived homogeneously from theSDSS (including the black hole mass, OIII luminosity, and Eddington ratio forthe AGN and the mass, structure, and stellar content of the galaxy). We will usethese combined data to determine the fraction of Compton-thick AGN and todetermine whether they differ systematically in terms of the properties of theAGN and the host galaxy, providing new insights into AGN physics.

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.
