| Description | We propose two 30ks XMM-Newton observations of the luminous (L_0.1-2 keV=4x10^44 erg/s) NLS1 RX J0134.2-4528. This object has unusual optical and UV emission-line properties that are consistent with an X-ray weak spectral energy distribution illuminating the broad-line region. The proposed observations will provide the first reliable measurement of alpha_ox. The EPIC observations will reveal X-ray spectral complexity that is common in XMM-Newton observations of NLS1s. These observations will be used to determine the intrinsic X-ray emission through spectral variability analysis, and through comparison with both the X-ray and UV emission-line properties of a sample of NLS1s. |

| 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. |
