| Description | Recent observations point out that Low-luminosity active galactic nuclei, such LINERs and low power Seyfert galaxies, might have a different torus configuration compared to more powerful AGNs. The shape of the Compton hump observed above 10 KeV is an excellent tool to study the geometry and the physical features of the reflector. The purpose of this proposal is study a low powered (L/LEdd sim 10^-5) Seyfert galaxy NGC 5033, to study the characteristics of the material surrounding the SMBH. We ask for observations with NuSTAR and XMM-Newton to study the relation between the accretion rate and properties of the reflector (torus covering fraction and column density) and to compare with existing, similar quality data of a LINER with equal black hole mass and accretion rate. |

| 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. |
