| Abstract | Ultra-Fast Outflows (UFOs) potentially provide the most significant AGNfeedback. PDS 456 hosts the archetypical, persistent UFO, which made it aPerformance Verification target for XRISM. XRISM will resolve the velocityprofile of the UFO and its associated emission lines at an unprecedentedhigh resolution of E<7eV, in order to measure its kinetic power mostaccurately. This goal cannot be achieved without properly measuring thehard X-ray continuum, which only NuSTAR can. NuSTAR will also uniquelyconstrain the coronal temperature. The demonstrated variability of PDS 456requires a coordinated campaign of NuSTAR, XRISM, XMM-Newton, and approvedSwift/XRT monitoring. |

| 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. |
