| Abstract | The JWST Deep Time-Domain Field in the North Ecliptic Pole is a GTO target thatwill have continuous visibility and 8-band deep imaging and grism spectra in theNIR by JWST. In the past few years, the NEP DTDF has grown into a comprehensivesurvey with deep radio to X-ray data, becoming the most promising new field forextragalactic studies and time-domain investigations. Given interesting resultsfrom Cycle 5 NuSTAR program, we request 780 ks for long term monitoring of theNEP DTDF, split into 4 epochs (spaced before and after JWST launch over 2 NuSTARcycles), enabling studies of hard X-ray variability, 0.3-24 keV spectroscopythrough simultaneous XMM observations, the faint end of the AGN luminosityfunction at >8 keV, the obscured AGN fraction, and a bright NLSy1 at z> 1. |

| 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. |
