Scientific paper

Motivated by the detection of a relativistic outflow of highly ionized gas in a previous XMM-Newton observation of the lensed quasar APM08279+5255, we propose four 90ks observations of this object to improve our understanding of the significance of such outflows in regulating black hole growth and in influencing structure formation. The large lensing magnification of about 100 makes APM08279+5255 the only quasar for which we can presently constrain the properties of the outflow just before the peak of the number density of luminous quasars. Our main scientific goals are: (a) verify the present interpretations of the Fe absorption lines, (b) monitor the time variability of the Fe lines, and (c) constrain the kinematic, ionization and absorbing properties of the quasar outflow in APM08279+5255.
