Abstract Highly-ionised high-speed winds in AGN (UFOs) were first detected withXMM-Newton a decade ago, and are now established as a key factor in the study ofSMBH accretion, and in the growth and metal enrichment of their host galaxies.However, information on the ionisation and dynamical structure, and the ultimatefate of UFOs remains very limited. We request a 600ks extended XMM-Newton studyof the prototype UFO PG1211+143 in AO-13, to obtain high quality EPIC and RGSspectra, to map the flow structure and variability, while seeking evidence forthe anticipated interaction with the ISM and possible conversion of theenergetic wind to a momentum-driven flow.

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.
