Abstract X-ray observations of AGN samples provide crucial information about both the AGNthemselves and the material that obscures them. Understanding the properties ofthe active nuclei of radio-loud AGN is particularly vital given that theseobjects seem likely to have a key role in models of galaxy formation andevolution. The 2Jy sample of radio galaxies and quasars has uniquely goodmultiwavelength data, but until recently has been poorly studied in the X-ray.We have recently been awarded time to observe all the low-z 2Jy steep-spectrumsample with Chandra, and here propose short observations of the high-z half ofthe sample with XMM which will give us a complete picture of the nuclearactivity in these objects, and allow a wide range of projects to be carried out.

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.
