| Abstract | Knowledge of the structure and kinematics of gas around supermassive black holesis vital to understanding accretion and thus AGN feedback. To this end, we, the AGN STORM 2 team, have conducted the largest multi-missionand multi-wavelength campaign of an AGN to date.This includes a Large 198-orbit Hubble Space Telescope Program, an XMM-NewtonProgram (AO20), a Swift Key Project, and monitoring withNICER and optical ground based facilities. The prime AGN STORM 2 campaign (fromDec 2020-Feb 2022) revealed a wealth of information on |

| 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. |
