Abstract	The all-sky mid-IR WISE mission is an extremely efficient black hole finder,identifying vast numbers of AGN, including the rarest, most luminous, mostobscured AGN. We propose to observe six extreme, obscured wise-selected AGN atzvirgul2 with bolometric luminosities L(bol) > 1e14 L(sun), comparable to the mostluminous unobscured quasars known. Taking advantage of the beneficial X-rayk-correction, XMM- Newton observations will measure the high-energy propertiesand column densities of these extreme systems. To date, few heavily obscured AGNat such high luminosities have been observed.

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.
