| Description | XB 1323-619 is a stable dipping LMXB which has uniquely quasi-periodic bursting resulting in a new phenomenon: regular occurence of bursts in dips when outer accretion disk is highly ionized. XMM will for the 1st time allow this to be used as a novel diagnostic of bursts and giving electron density and ionization state in outer disk. Spectral analysis of complex dip evolution reveals the nature of emission regions allowing for the 1st time testing whether the blackbody arises on neutron star or accretion disk; rejection of the latter has important consequences. We can also make a detailed study of burst evolution (out of dips). XMM can test whether |

| Mission Description | The European Space Agency's (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESA's 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 Earth's 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. |
