IRASF11119+3257 is an Ultra Luminous Infrared Galaxy (ULIRG) with post mergermorphology, hosting a type-1 QSO (LX 10^44 erg/s at z=0.189) with a persistentUFO (v 0.25c) observed with both NuSTAR and Suzaku. It is also the first systemin which it was possible to connect the nuclear outflow with a galaxy-scalemolecular outflow, observed in OH and CO transitions. Despite its exceptionalproperties, the source was never observed with XMM-Newton. We request a 110ksXMM-Newton observation to study in detail the nuclear outflow properties andenergetics. We also request 53 ks of simultaneous NuSTAR observation, which iscrucial in order to constrain the blue wing of the UFO, and the absorption edgesand continuum above 10 keV.

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.
