Scientific paper

Intermediate mass black hole (IMBH) are important in studies of black hole and AGN physics and cosmology, but little is known about IMBH as a population due to their rarity, especially in the X-ray band. We propose to observe with XMM a well defined, volume limited, nearest (within 250Mpc) sample of IMBH AGN with the least nominal black hole masses known so far (<3 10^5 M_sun) estimated using the linewidth-luminosity-mass relation, which are discovered in our recent work. XMM will enable detailed studies of X-ray spectral and temporal properties for such objects both individually and as a sample extending up to 10keV energy range, and will double the size of IMBH AGN with X-ray spectra to about two dozens.
