| Description | The growth of Supermassive Black Holes powering luminous quasars at the Epoch of Reionization (EoR, z>6) is a hot topic in astrophysics. These quasars are being characterized with large multiwavelength campaigns with current flagship observatories. X-ray observations performed so far provided mostly < 15 counts in 0.5-10 keV spectra and thus a poor characterization of their properties. We propose HYPERION, a 2.3 Ms Multi-Year Heritage programme, to dramatically improve data quality to 100 counts for 15 luminous quasars at EoR, delivering unprecedented constraints on nuclear properties, accretion, ejection, disc-corona complex. It will nicely complement observations at other wavelengths enabling meaningful X-ray spectroscopic studies at EoR to begin. |

| 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. |
