THIS IS A LARGE TRIGGERED PROPOSAL // The deep minimum state of AGNs is characterized by a strongly suppressed or even total absence of the primary continuum. As the continuum disappears weak spectral features like relativistic- ally broad iron lines or "narrow" soft X-ray emission lines become highly significant and their parameters can be determined with high accuracy. Therefore deep minimum states offer unique possibilities to constrain the physics of the different X-ray emission mechanisms in the very cores of AGN, including the immediate vicinity of the supermassive black holes. Applying our experience gained in spring 2007 with a successful trigger of a 200ks-observation, we propose long observations of AGNs in deep minimum state triggered based on Swift and XMM-Newton slews observations.
