Scientific paper

The 70ks XMM-Newton observation of the X-ray weak quasars PG 2112+059 in low state shows an X-ray spectrum with characteristics not reported so far for any other AGN. The quasar not only shows an extremely strong relativistic broad iron line, the whole spectrum can be understood as relativistically blurred reflection from a rotating inner disk around a supermassive Kerr black hole, whereas the usual power-law continuum is completely suppressed. We propose to monitor PG 2112+059 with two 70ks observations separated by half a year and, if the low state is detected, to study the detailed properties of the broad iron line with a (triggered) 220ks observations.
