Abstract We propose to observe with XMM-Newton a set of 10 AGN from a complete sample of88 INTEGRAL selected objects, for which no or limited spectral information areavailable below 10 keV. This is the continuation of 5 previous successful XMMproposals, which have so far provided X-ray observations for a large fraction ofour AGNs; the present proposal will conclude the observational phase of thisproject providing good quality X-ray coverage for the entire INTEGRAL completeAGN sample. Based on our past experience, we estimate that an exposure of 15-20ks for each source (depending on the strength) for a total time of 180 ks issufficient to reach the scientific goals of this proposal. All objects requestedhere have been graded C targets in AO9 but have not been observed yet.

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.
