| Abstract | We propose to observe with XMM-Newton a set of up to 19 AGN from a completesample of 88 INTEGRAL selected objects, for which no or limited spectralinformation are available below 10 keV. This is the continuation of 4 previoussuccessful XMM proposals, which have so far provided X-ray observations for alarge fraction of our AGNs; the present proposal, complemented with archivalmeasurements, will conclude the observational phase of this project, providing ahigh quality X-ray coverage for the entire INTEGRAL complete AGN sample. Basedon our past experience, we estimate that an exposure of 15-20 ks for each source(depending on the source brightness) for a total time of 360 ks is sufficient toreach the scientific goals of this proposal, which we submit as an XMM Large Program. |

| 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. |
