Abstract	We propose to study the time-resolved X-ray spectra of black-hole (candidate)X-ray binaries (BHXBs) in outburst. We will be following the outburst(s)throughout their evolution over a wide range of wavelengths, and will conduct aseries of high time-resolution X-ray spectral observations with the XMMReflection Grating Spectrometer. High-resolution X-ray spectra will likelyexhibit emission lines and absorption edges characteristic of the accretion diskgeometry, temperatures, and abundances. We expect that they will also show thegeneral-relativistic effects of the extreme gravitational environment near theblack hole. Whenever possible we will make (near) simultaneous radio, optical,X-ray timing (RXTE) and gamma-ray observations.

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.
