| Description | We propose XMM-Newton EPIC observations of six luminous infrared galaxies, selected from the GOALS sample. The targets are selected based on the 2-7 keV flux measured with snapshot Chandra observations, aiming to study their hard X-ray spectra and Fe line properties with XMM-Newton. This proposed follow- up observations are essential to determine the AGN fraction in the nearby LIRG population by minimizing the bias against heavily obscured AGN which generally have faint hard X-ray emission and a large throughput of XMM-Newton is required to examine its nature. |

| 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. |
