| Description | XMM-Newton observations of Seyfert galaxies established outbursts of radio-quiet AGNs as a still poorly explored discovery space for AGN physics with an enormous potential to learn\: NGC 1566, HE1136-2304 and NGC 2617 are rare and extreme changing-look AGNs tracing rapid changes in accretion and/or corona physics including the launching of new outflows. GSN 069 very likely traces an AGN disturbed by a tidal disruption event. We propose two 80ks simultaneous XMM-Newton(EPIC\RGS)/NuSTAR observations accompanied by optical spectroscopy of the next suited AGN outburst(s). They will allow tracing the accretion physics, the launching of winds and outflows, the spectral complexity connected with dramatic emission-line changes and possibly the elusive tidal disruption events. |

| 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. |
