| Abstract | We propose here a broadband X-ray study of a peculiar hyper-Eddington ActiveGalactic Nucleus, namely IRAS 04416+1215, by observing it simultaneously withNuSTAR (170ks) and XMM-Newton (40ks). IRAS 04416+1215 has one of the highestEddington-ratio in the local Universe (lambdaEdd=427), it represents a prototypefor the elusive class of hyper-Eddington AGN. The aim of these simultaneousobservations is to understand the behaviour of the primary power-law and thereprocessed radiation in the regime of extreme accretion, as well as theproperties of soft-excess and the outflows. To this end, the combined largeeffective area of XMM-Newton and high sensitivity of NuSTAR at high energy arefundamental to constrain the spectral parameter of the proposed target. |

| 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. |
