ABSTRACT
Understanding the feedback mechanism in AGN at their (z~2) peak of cosmic activity is key to understand the co-evolution of SMBHs and galaxies. Recent discoveries in X-rays of massive outflows in nearby AGNs have shown that AGN-driven winds may be an effective way of providing this feedback. To date, detailed X-ray spectral studies have been however restricted to the nearest AGN and, at higher z, to a handful of QSOs which are mostly lensed. We thus propose here an exploratory study on a small sample of bona fide type-1, non-lensed and non-beamed QSOs selected among the X-ray brightest QSOs at z~2 already detected in X-rays. Our main goal is to obtain X-ray spectra with a secure and high enough S/N to constrain the presence of massive winds in high-z QSOs, and serve as pathfinder for future studies.

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
