| Abstract | We propose to observe the Seyfert galaxy NGC4151 simultaneously with NuSTAR(for 100 ks) and XMM-Newton (for 50 ks) during a 750ks IXPE pointing.NGC4151 is the first radio-quiet Active Galactic Nucleus with an X-raypolarization measure for the corona and offers the unique opportunityto investigate possible changes in the polarization properties of thesystem, due to its extreme variability and high luminosity. The synergybetween NuSTAR, XMM-Newton and IXPE will allow us to measure the physicalproperties of the hot corona and assess the different spectral componentcontributions. NGC4151 is also a target for XRISM program, offering thechance for contemporaneous observations. |

| 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. |
