| Abstract | AGN outflows impact the evolution of supermassive black holes, host galaxies.Using an ambitious multi-wavelength campaign on Mrk766, we propose to achieve anew level of physical understanding for these enigmatic winds by studying theextra-deep RGS spectrum and the variability of the EPIC-pn data. Throughmonitoring of the ionised absorbers using our new time-dependent photoionisationmodel TPHO, we will unambiguously determine the density, location and geometryof the different outflow components. These unprecedented constraints allow us toestimate the effect of AGN outflows on their environment by measuring their massflux and kinetic luminosity. We propose a joint xmm (600 ks) and nustar (300 ks)mapping campaign of the well-known and highly variable Mrk766. |

| 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. |
