Abstract Galaxy mergers are thought to trigger strong accretion onto supermassive blackholes, during a phase in which the system is heavily obscured. However, thedynamics of this process, and of the possible feedback from the active galacticnucleus, are still largely unknown. We propose here a joint NuSTAR/XMM-Newton(200/112ks) observation of the most energetic, embedded galactic nucleus in thelocal Universe, which will be observed by JWST as part of an approved EarlyRelease Science proposal. The combination of state-of-the-art X-ray observationsand high spatial resolution IR spectroscopy will allow us to define the energybudget of the system, to assess the impact of AGN activity in its surrounding,and to study in unprecedented detail this fundamental phase of black hole growth.

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.
