We propose to observe the blue outlier AGN PG 0804+761 for 100,ks with RGS toobtain detailed information on the outflow and further investigate theconnection between blue outliers (blueshifted ion{O},{III} emission) andpowerful outflows. Through this observation we will obtain accurate outflowvelocities and the ionization structure of the outflow, which allows us to testa scenario where the blueshifted emission lines are connected to a high velocityoutflow.

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.
