| Abstract | We propose a monitoring campaign of 4x60 ks simultaneous XMM \ 4x40 ks NuSTARobservations of MCG-03-58-007, which is a powerful and variable disk wind. ASuzaku observation unveiled the presence of a high ionization, high Nh and fast(vvirgul 0.1c) wind launched from within a few 100Rg from the black hole. A follow-up130ks simultaneous XMM/NuSTAR observation confirmed the presence of the wind andshowed a Nhvirgul1e24cm-2 variation in a day, which we ascribe to an increase of theNh of the wind. Such dramatic variability places MCG-03-58-007 among the uniqueobjects, and makes it an ideal AGN to map the inner disk-wind. With the newobservations we will\: probe the origin of the Nh variations, reveal thestructure of the wind and determine how the wind responds to the continuum. |

| 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. |
