Abstract: (arXiv)

We discuss XMM-Newton and BeppoSAX observations of MKN 231, the lowest-redshift Broad Absorption Line (BAL) QSO known so far and one of the best-studied Ultra Luminous Infrared Galaxies. By combining the XMM-Newton spectral resolution and the high-energy bandpass of BeppoSAX we have been able to study in more detail than previously possible its 0.2--50 keV spectral properties. The BeppoSAX PDS data unveiled, for the first time, a highly absorbed (

N_H\sim 2\times 10^{24}

cm

^{-2}

) power-law component. We find that: a) below 10 keV we are seeing only reprocessed radiation through reflection and/or scattering: b) the intrinsic 2-10 keV luminosity of MKN 231 is

1^{+1.0}_{-0.5} \times 10^{44}

ergs s

, i.e. more than an order of magnitude greater than previous measurements: c) the starburst activity significantly contributes to the soft (

E<2

keV) X-ray emission.
