| Abstract | Previous XMM-Newton observations have led to the detection of AGNs in 2 of 3gravitationally lensed Hyper Luminous Infrared Galaxies (HyLIRGs) with apparentIR luminosities >10^14 L_sun, while X-ray emission from the third is consistentwith the prediction from its star formation rate (SFR) according to the localcalibration. We propose observations of 6 more such HyLIRGs at z~2.1-3.3 toobtain a statistically meaningful sample of X-ray detections. This sample willenable us to 1) tighten the relation between non-AGN X-ray emission and SFR, 2)probe the presence of AGN over the rest-frame 2-35 keV range, and 3) determinethe obscuration of AGNs and their potential impact on these extreme galaxies.The results will have strong implications for understanding the star formation and AGN co-evolution. |

| 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. |
