| Description | We propose to observe four X-ray bright gravitationally lensed mini-BAL quasars. The main scientific goals are to\: (a) Investigate whether relativistic outflows are a common property of mini-BAL quasars and high-z quasars in general, (b) constrain the properties of the outflows. These constraints will improve our understanding of the significance of such outflows in regulating black hole growth and in influencing structure formation, and (c) test whether the outflow properties of the X-ray absorbers correlate with X-ray and UV spectral properties of the driving force. This test will provide insight into the launching mechanism of quasar outflows and indicate whether an X-ray absorber/shield is required to drive X-ray outflows. |

| 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. |
