| Abstract | We propose 55 ks of XMM-Newton exposure for an Eddington-limited dust-obscuredgalaxy, which may be at a key phase closest to the peak of both the black-holeand galaxy growth in the coevolution framework for supermassive black holes andgalaxies. This source was previously targeted with Chandra for 3 ks and showsheavy obscuration reaching the Compton-thick level yet has an unexpectedly highcount rate in the hard X-ray band. Previous observations of similar sources havebeen highly limited by the collected counts, and thus our proposed targetprovides an unprecedentedly economical opportunity to probe detailed X-rayspectral features. The proposed observation will also constrain the precisecolumn density of our source and how ^ated its X-ray luminosity is compared to expectations. |

| 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. |
