ABSTRACT
AGN outflows impact the evolution of supermassive black holes, host galaxies. Using an ambitious multi-wavelength campaign on Mrk766, we propose to achieve a new level of physical understanding for these enigmatic winds by studying the extra-deep RGS spectrum and the variability of the EPIC-pn data. Through monitoring of the ionised absorbers using our new time-dependent photoionisation model TPHO, we will unambiguously determine the density, location and geometry of the different outflow components. These unprecedented constraints allow us to estimate the effect of AGN outflows on their environment by measuring their mass flux and kinetic luminosity. We propose a joint \xmm (600 ks) and \nustar (300 ks) mapping campaign of the well-known and highly variable Mrk766.
