The..M(SMBH)-sigma relation. indicates that a link between the centralblack-hole and the hosting galaxies acted during the cosmic time. With thediscovery in X-rays of the ultra-fast outflows in nearby AGN, we have probablyprobed one of the ingredients needed to build-up this ..feedback. mechanism. Athigh-z, however, such measurements are few. We must fill this observational gapto test this scenario, since, to be effective, feedback had to work at itsmaximum at redshifts were the starburst and accretion onto SMBH were at theirmost. We propose to continue a program already proved to be succesful inpursuing this goal and that uses gravitational lenses as parts of our telescopeto fill this observational gap and to point the high-z QSO Q2237+030 and HE0435-1223

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.
