ABSTRACT
The bright, nearby QSO MR 2251-178 was the first AGN where a warm absorber was detected. Subsequent observations have shown that there are at least two warm absorber components in MR 2251-178; a low ionisation soft X-ray absorber and a putative high velocity (0.07c) wind. We propose a deep (336 ks total) observation of MR 2251-178 in order to determine the origin of the outflow. Our goals are; (i) to establish the nature of the high ionisation absorber, e.g. as part of an accretion disk wind, through high S/N observations in the iron K band with EPIC and (ii) obtain a high resolution RGS spectrum of the soft X-ray absorber. Together with our recently approved large Chandra/HST project, this will allow us to deduce the kinematics, location and energetics of the outflow to unprecedented accuracy.

PAPERS
Authors marked in red are (co-)investigators in the proposal

Classification of papers are:
- CLASS 1:   papers that present specific XMM-Newton observations
- CLASS 2: papers that refer to published XMM-Newton results with complementary observations, follow-up analysis, or theoretical analysis
- CLASS 3: further deliveries which resulted from the program and which are made available to the community (e.g. source catalogues, processed images or spectra in public data base)
- CLASS 4: comments and suggestions from PI
