| Abstract | We propose to complete our 12 deg^2 survey at 50 ks depth of three legacy skyregions: the SERVS areas of W-CDF-S, ELAIS-S1, and XMM-LSS. XMM-LSS won a 1.3Ms AO-15 allocation. W-CDF-S and ELAIS-S1 coverage is now integrally required sothat XMM-SERVS can dramatically advance studies of SMBH growth across the fullrange of cosmic environments, links between SMBH accretion and host-galaxyproperties, groups/clusters at z = 0.1-2, protoclusters, and other topics.XMM-SERVS will allow outstanding studies of the newly detected 9000 AGNs and 760X-ray groups/clusters by powerfully leveraging its superior radio-to-UVcoverage, and its fields will have extraordinary legacy value as MOONS massivespectroscopy fields, DES/LSST deep-drilling fields, and prime ALMA fields. |

| 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. |
