Scientific paper

We propose XMM EPIC spectroscopy of the five most X-ray luminous radio-quiet QSOs found in the ROSAT Bright Survey (RBS). The RBS contains the brightest X-ray sources in the sky. Hence, the sample marks the high end of the local (z< 0.5) QSO luminosity function. Self-consistent disk reflection models predict strong, neutral Fe lines emission in low X-ray luminosity AGN, while high X-ray luminous QSOs are expected to show weaker, high ionization Fe lines. A further increase in X-ray luminosity elimates the Fe line emission (X-ray Baldwin effect). Observational evidence for these predictions are so far poorly established and controversally discussed.
