Abstract | We propose non-simultaneous joint Chandra (60 ks), XMM-Newton (60 ks), and HST(1 orbit) observations of the remarkable BAL RLQ PG 1004+130. These, inconjunction with our previous X-ray/UV coverage, will yield (1) one of the mostcomprehensive X-ray spectral monitoring campaigns of a variable BAL quasarundertaken, probing multi-year and multi-month timescales to constrain thenature of the X-ray absorber; (2) the highest S/N X-ray spectra of a BAL RLQcurrently available, enabling modeling of X-ray absorption and the underlyingcontinuum; and (3) the deepest X-ray imaging yet obtained of a disrupting jet ina hybrid morphology radio source, allowing tests for jet flux variability andcharacterization of the morphologies and spectra of the jet and diffuse emission. |

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. |
