Description We propose a fulfill XMM-Newton programme to observe a sample of major mergers hosting AGN candidates based on their MIR WISE colours. Our goal is to characterise the X-ray emission in interacting galaxy pairs, and to look for some possible interaction effects like offset nuclei, or intermittent nuclear emission. We selected the galaxy pairs from the sample of Sekiguchi and Wolstencroft (1992MNRAS.255.581S, SW), of IR bright Arp-Madore major mergers.

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.
