The JWST Deep Time-Domain Field in the NEP (NEP DTDF) is a GTO target that willhave excellent 8-band deep (mvirgul28) imaging and grism spectra in the NIR by JWSTand already has exquisite multiwavelength data. As JWST is now at its L2location, the NEP observations are planned to start in June/July and will repeatevery 90 days. Given the interesting results from Cycle 5+6 NuSTAR programs, werequest 855 ks (3 epochs simultaneous with JWST) for monitoring the NEP in thehard band to focus on variability, 0.3-24 keV spectroscopy through simultaneousXMM observations, the faint end of the AGN population at >8 keV, the obscuredfraction, and a variable z>1 FSRQ. Combining Cycle 5+6+8 data, we will get thedeepest NuSTAR survey, with 65-70 sources in 3-24 keV, and virgul20 single epoch detections.

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.
