Description | The mechanism of launching and powering relativistic jets in AGN is still not understood, but must link to the accretion flow. Evidence for this comes from the clear change in blazar jet properties at L/LEddvirgul0.01, probably due to the accretion flow transition from a geometrically thick ADAF to a thin disc. There should be another transition at L/LEdd > 1, where the accretion disc should puff up, but this is harder to study as few radio-loud AGN are super-Eddington. RX J0134.2-4258 is a robust super-Eddington NLS1 with L/LEddvirgul11, the highest of all radio-loud AGN known. Therefore, we propose a joint XMM-Newton/NuSTAR program to study the accretion disc, corona and jet mechanism in this new radio-loud super-Eddington regime. |

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. |
