The inferred mass outflow rate and kinetic luminosity are typical of AGN where intense feedback is at work. HE 0238-1904 was detected in the XMM-Newton Slew Survey, but no X-ray spectrum of this exceptional object has ever been acquired with any major X-ray observatory. Our aim is to obtain for the first time high-quality X-ray data of HE 0238-1904, in order to understand the physical properties of its innermost regions, in terms of obscuration, intrinsic spectral shape, and possible presence of an X-ray counterpart to the UV wind. This observation will allow us to shed new light on the link between efficient accretion, powerful winds, and AGN feedback. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Observations Description ------------------------ The key aims of this progam are to probe the current state of the UV wind in HE 0238-1904 (previously detected by COS in 2009) with a combination of G130M and G160M observations, and to determine the ionising photon budget by building an accurate spectral energy distribution from the UV to the X-rays (through the coordinated XMM-Newton observation). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 16900( 6) - 15-Aug-2022 18:28:23 - [ 2] TARGET LIST Fixed Targets ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tar| Target | Target | Target |Coord | Radial | Flux data No | Name | Description | Position |Eqnx | Vel. | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 HE0238-1904 GALAXY, QSO, WIND RA=02H40M32.5841S +/- 0.1", J2000 Z = 0.63 V = 15.0 1.5e-14 at 1300A, 1.5e-14 at DEC=-18D51'51.37" +/- 0.1" 1500A, 1.5e-14 at 1750A Reference Frame: ICRS Extended: NO Comments: This object was generated by the target selector and retrieved from the SIMBAD database.

Simultaneity is desirable but not strictly required, as long as the HST and XMM-Newton visits can be scheduled within a period of 7-10 days. The overlapping visibility window between XMM-Newton cycle 21 and HST cycle 29 is July 1st to August 12th, 2022.
