Abstract | We propose to observe three gravitationally lensed mini-BAL quasars. The mainscientific goals are to: (a) Investigate whether relativistic outflows are acommon property of mini-BAL quasars, (b) constrain the properties of theoutflows. These constraints will improve our understanding of the significanceof such outflows in regulating black hole growth and in influencing structureformation, and (c) obtain correlations between the outflow properties of theX-ray absorbers and the X-ray and UV spectral properties of the driving force.These correlations will provide insight into the driving mechanism of quasaroutflows and indicate whether an X-ray absorber is required to drive X-rayand/or UV outflows. |

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. |
