ABSTRACT
We have recently shown that the non-linear correlation between X-ray and UV emission in quasars can be used to estimate quasar distances with a precision of ~0.2~dex. This allows to build a Hubble Diagram for quasars up to z~6, opening a new window of observational cosmology at high redshift. Here we propose to observe a sample of 30 quasars at z~3, in order to estimate the ratio of the expansion of the Universe at z=3 and z~0.5 with a 10% precision, enough for a tight test of the standard cosmological model, and to improve the current constraints on the possible evolution of the equation of state of dark energy.

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
