| Abstract | We propose to observe two super-Eddington AGN to explore the nature ofultra-fast outflow and their geometry which are part of our spectropolarimetricsample observed with VLT-FORS2 and NTT telescopes. We aim at collecting thesample of the sources where the highly ionized outflowing medium can be studiedusing both X-ray data and spectropolarimetric data in parallel. X-ray datatraces the absorption and the viewing angle, while spectropolarimetric datatraces the viewing angle and the presence of a fully ionized (outflowing)medium. Among our list of sources, Mrk 1044 IRAS 04416+1215 have already showna strong highly ionized outflow in RGS spectra. We propose to observe twosources from our sample with 100 ks exposure each (200ks total) in XMM-Newton which were not observed before. |

| 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. |
