Scientific paper

We propose to observe the Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk 290 for the first time with XMM-Newton for a total exposure of 50 ks. Our main goals are: 1) study the details of the broad Fe line profile detected by ASCA, measure its parameters inferring limits on the black hole spin, and study its short-timescale variability and response to the continuum; 2) characterise at both CCD and RGS resolution the complex soft X-ray spectrum where ASCA detected clear signatures of warm absorber and possible emission lines; 3) use the expected X-ray variability to unveil the main spectral components and their contribution to the (already observed) spectral variability.
