ABSTRACT
We have recently reported on the discovery of a new X-ray variability pattern from the nucleus of the galaxy GSN~069, dubbed as Quasi-Periodic Eruptions, or QPEs (Miniutti et al. 2019, Nature, 573, 381). We propose here for further XMM-Newton observations to better characterize this newly-discovered variability pattern. Ideally, our observations will be complemented with 2 HST orbits with the goals of: i) deriving the optical to X-ray SED of GSN~069; ii) search for possible blue point sources other than the galactic nucleus in comparison with our Chandra data; iii) study the morphology of the poorly known host galaxy; iv) study the spatially-resolved structure of the narrow-line-region in [O~III].

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
