Description XMM-Newton slew data allow us to establish the deepest, complete, hard (2-10keV)
X-ray selected, flux limited sample of X-ray sources which is dominated by AGN
for high latitudes. The proposed follow-up observations of slew sources offer an
unique opportunity to establish an overview of the spectral distribution of a
complete hard X-ray selected sample of (nearby) AGNs and especially will allow
to search for rare object classes and to determine the fraction of intrinsically
absorbed sources.

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.
