Abstract | So far there is only one AGN, Ark 564, whose power spectral density (PSD) showsa multi-Lorentzian shape which is similar to that seen in BHBs emitting in thevery high state. Recently we discovered that the PSD of the NLS1 RXJ1140.1+0307, which is claimed to harbor an intermediate mass black hole with asuper-Eddington accretion rate, also appears to have more than one Lorentziancomponent. However, the previous XMM observation is too short to extend the PSDto lower frequency. Therefore we propose a long (120 ks) XMM-Newton observationof RX J1140.1+0307, in order to perform a deep investigation of its PSD, alongwith other variability properties. Because such phenomenon observed in the PSDof AGN are extremely rare, it is important to study the best examples in detail. |

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. |
