| Description | We propose a hard X-ray look at the mini-BAL QSO, PG 1126-041, with NuSTAR (120ks) and simultaneous with XMM (90ks), to study its accretion disk wind. This will be the first ever hard X-ray observation of this AGN, whose line of sight intercepts multiple phases (UV, soft X-ray and Fe K) of a variable wind originating on accretion disk scales. Detailed studies of AGN disk winds are rare, here PG1126 resembles PDS456, the archetypical luminous AGN with a powerful accretion disk wind. The observations will: (i) measure the Fe K and hard X-ray wind profile, allowing the fast wind energetics to be accurately derived, (ii) probe rapid wind variability on timescales of tens of ks in the innermost disk and (iii) link all the phases of the wind from the UV to hard X-rays. |

| 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. |
