Scientific paper
We propose to observe 10 X-ray unabsorbed Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) extracted from the RXTE Slew Survey (XSS). We aim at completing the XMM-Newton coverage of a flux-limited [2-10 keV flux > 1 mCrab] sub-sample of the XSS with enough statistical quality to unambiguously establish the presence of a relativistically broadened K-alpha iron line in the spectrum of each individual object. Measuring the fraction of local universe AGN where effects due to a relativistic accretion disk are detected, along with the accurate determination of the accretion flow physical properties, will allow us to tell if and how the standard paradigm needs to be modified to explain the origin of the energy output in AGN. The total requested time is 975 ks
