Recent Herschel observations have identified powerful large-scale molecularoutflows in ultraluminous infrared galaxies, indicating that AGN feedback canindeed influence star formation and galaxy evolution. Theoretical modelsdescribing the formation of such large-scale outflows require a putative innerAGN accretion disk wind. We found the first evidence of such a wind inIRASF11119+3257, in the form of blue-shifted Fe XXV/XXVI absorption lines withvelocity 0.25c. However, just one object does not allow to establish thevalidity of such mechanism. Here, we request simultaneous 150ks NuSTAR and 90ksXMM-Newton observations of the next most promising ULIRG, IRASF05189-2524, tocharacterize its disk wind and conclusively establish the mechanism of quasar mode feedback.

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.
