We propose simultaneous NuSTAR (80 ksec) & XMM-Newton (60 ksec) observations ofIRASF05054+1718, a local (z = 0.0175) Seyfert 2 galaxy, which hosts a powerfuldisk wind and where there is evidence of quenching of star formation. In thissource, Swift data suggested the presence of a powerful and high-velocity (vouta?? 0.1 c) wind, most likely launched within 100Rg . A short NuSTAR observationconfirms the presence of such a wind, but with a much higher velocity (vout a??0.2 c). Neither of the two previous observations have the statistical qualityneeded to fully investigate the physical properties of this wind. Our aim hereis to confirm the disk wind at a higher statistical significance.

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.
