Abstract The near real-time comparison of XMM-Newton slew data with the ROSAT all-skysurvey gives an excellent opportunity to find black holes in the centres ofgalaxies, which are currently being fueled by the tidal disruption of a star.The intensive study of such a system, where the boundary conditions, i.e. therecent history of the nuclear radiation, are known, will provide sensitivediagnostics in several areas of the AGN phenomenon,which are at best ambiguouswhen viewed in a steady-state AGN. We propose to follow the dynamicalevolution of the accretion process by studying the X-ray, UV and opticalemission with regular observations to measure the evolution of the spectralcomponents.

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.
