Description | The high-energy emission of AGNs is mostly studied in nearby Seyferts. Bright QSOs, on the other hand, offer the opportunity to study accretion processes and AGN-driven winds in the less explored high luminosity regime. We propose a joint NuSTAR and XMM (100 ks) observation of HE 1029-1401, the most X-ray luminous AGN among local (z<0.1) unobscured, radio-quiet QSOs, and a very intriguing source showing a significant soft excess and a broad iron line. The unique joint capabilities of NuSTAR and XMM will allow us to constrain the properties of the X-ray corona, to assess the contribution of relativistic reflection, and to determine the nature of the soft excess. We will also be able to search for X-ray winds, such as warm absorbers and more powerful ultra-fast outflows. |

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. |
