| Abstract | NuSTAR can make a transformational advance in our understanding ofhow luminous accreting black holes work through long observations ofrapidly-variable, X-ray-bright AGN. This enables X-ray reverberationstudies, already a commonplace feature of AGN, to proceed to the nextlevel and follow the behavior of the powerful dynamic corona and map theaccretion flow immediately next to the black hole, measuring both spinand mass of the black hole. We propose a 500ks NuSTAR observation of theX-ray brightest high variability NLS1 AGN 1H1934-063, with 260ks of XMM, tomeasure relativistic reflection and reverberation in 3 flux states. |

| 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. |
