Abstract | Dwarf galaxies are ideal systems for studying the effects on galaxy evolutionof the feedback of energy and mass into the ISM from star-formation. X-raydata are vital to study this process, as they probe the hot gasthat contains the bulk of the energy and metals that may escapethe galaxy in starburst-driven outflows. We propose observationsthat will create a sample of the five brightest starbursting dwarfgalaxies. The proposal team will also obtain FUSE far-UV spectra ofcooler coronal phase gas (1e5 < T(K) < 1e6) in this sample. The |

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. |
