Abstract | This proposal aims at catching, for the first time, fast (hour time scale)variability in two RQ AGN simultaneously in X-ray and millimeter wavelength. ANOEMA proposal has been submitted at the last AO (10 Sept. 2020) and we ask inthis proposal for 50 ks per object of (strictly simultaneous) XMM time. Hourtime-scale variability corresponds to 10-100 gravitational radii light traveltime around a supermassive black hole of 10^7 Msun. A correlated variabilityobserved between both wavelengths would be a direct proof that the mm emissionin RQ AGN is produced very close to the black hole, in a region consistent withthe so-called X-ray hot corona. |

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. |
