Abstract We propose to pursue a long-term monitoring program of a selection ofsolar-type stars all of which show clear cyclic behavior -- analogousto the solar cycle -- in their CaII flux, with the aim of detectingand studying, for the first time in X-rays, the presence of activitycycles in stars other than the Sun. Thus far only very active stars --which do not show CaII cycles but only irregular variability -- havebeen monitored with a sufficient time base in X-rays, with no evidencefor cycles. XMM makes it possible, for the first time, to efficientlymonitor the low-activity, cyclic stars which are the true analogues of

Mission Description The European Space Agencys (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESAs second cornerstone of the Horizon 2000 Science Programme. It carries 3 high throughput X-ray telescopes with an unprecedented effective area, and an optical monitor, the first flown on a X-ray observatory. The large collecting area and ability to make long uninterrupted exposures provide highly sensitive observations. Since Earths atmosphere blocks out all X-rays, only a telescope in space can detect and study celestial X-ray sources. The XMM-Newton mission is helping scientists to solve a number of cosmic mysteries, ranging from the enigmatic black holes to the origins of the Universe itself. Observing time on XMM-Newton is being made available to the scientific community, applying for observational periods on a competitive basis.
