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.
