Abstract

Broad band X-ray spectra of high statistical quality obtained with the EPIC instruments on XMM-Newton are being used to address key issues in AGN Physics, including the evidence for strong gravity, massive and energetic outflows and the effects of reflection and absorption in cold dense matter. A progress report on these topics is presented by reference to high quality EPIC spectra of 5 bright Seyfert galaxies covering a wide range in luminosity.
