Abstract | We propose to obtain a deep exposure (150 ks) of the radio-loud NLS1 galaxyIRAS17020+4544. This is a relatively unexplored source that presents peculiarcharacteristics. Archival X-ray data show a multicomponent warm absorber in thesoft X-ray spectrum and spectral complexity in the Fe K band, suggestingabsorption in highly ionized Iron. Recent VLBA observations revealed a compactradio structure and a well defined jet component. Given the known radio andX-ray properties of the source, this target represents one of the best candidatefor: 1) studying the properties of outflowing gas in one of the rare radio loudsources where this phenomenon is detected and 2) studying the effect of ionizedabsorption in the Fe K band. |

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. |
