| Abstract | Mrk 783 is an X-ray bright, moderately radio-loud NLS1 that possesseskiloparsec-scale radio relic emission and a misaligned parsec-scale radio jet. Two short Swift-XRT exposures (11 ks) and long-term Swift-BAT monitoring areincapable of distinguishing between jet-dominated, obscured coronal power law,and relativistic reflection continuum models due to a lack of deep, simultaneousbroad band X-ray coverage. The proposed 40 ks NuSTAR + 52 ks XMM observationwill enable conclusive model determination among the competing best-fitscenarios. A detailed investigation of the short time-scale variability will beenabled across the optical/UV to hard X-ray band-pass for the first time. |

| 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. |
