ABSTRACT
We propose an 855 ks (9x95 ks) large program on the well-known narrow line Seyfert 1 galaxy, RE J1034+396, in order to study the X-ray quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) in unprecedented detail. These signatures of strong gravity are common to high accretion-rate processes across the mass range. The QPO in RE J1034+396 is already confirmed in 6 XMM-Newton observations, though 4 of these are too short to study the feature at high frequency resolution. We will conclusively measure the harmonic oscillation and use spectral- timing methods to place important constraints on the underlying physical QPO mechanism. We will also use the dynamics of this feature to provide insight into the accretion/ejection processes associated with high- Eddington rates. This is an observation only XMM-Newton can make

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
