| Description | Using a multiwavelength campaign on NGC 7469, led by XMM-Newton, HST, Swift, NuSTAR, and optical, we propose to achieve new physical insights into the enigmatic AGN winds, by obtaining the deepest ever RGS spectrum of this highly- accreting source. It will allow us to determine the accurate ionisation and chemical structure of the wind. Using EPIC and RGS, we will measure the response of the outflow to continuum variations, which combined with HST/COS data will unambiguously determine the location, and abundances of the outflow components. Our team pioneered this approach, and applied it successfully (14 refereed papers) to Mrk 509 that featured only a multi-year response. The unique properties of NGC 7469 make it the ideal candidate to respond on shorter, better-monitored time scales. |

| Mission Description | The European Space Agency's (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESA's 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 Earth's 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. |
