| Abstract | We propose to observe the 16 sq. deg. of the Herschel-ATLAS ScienceDemonstration Phase (SDP) in mosaic mode (total requested exposure 700 ks). TheH-ATLAS (PACS+SPIRE) survey covers regions with excellent qualitymulti-wavelength data, including the GAMA AAT spectroscopic survey and near- andmid-IR data from the UKIDSS and WISE surveys. The proposed observations willprovide the largest contiguous area far-IR/sub-mm survey with X-ray follow-up.This area will contain about 6000 250um and 2000 X-ray sources. The majorscientific goals are to place strong constrains on the link between AGN andstar-formation activity in the low-redshift (z<0.5) Universe, and to investigatethe effect of very luminous AGN on their hosts. |

| 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. |
