| Description | NGC 1194 is one of the hardest AGN in the local sky and a rare example of a nearby Compton-thick Seyfert galaxy. This AGN houses a water maser, providing an intriguing possible origin for the Compton-thick gas. We request a joint 60 ks NuSTAR/XMM observation to build a model for this spectacular AGN. Availability of an accurate black hole mass and maser disk inclination give a solid framework of scale-size, Eddington ratio and orientation for interpretation of the X-ray data. |

| 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. |
