Abstract We propose to observe a representive sample of local starburstgalaxies at X-ray wavelengths as part of a multi-wavelength campaignto understand star-formation and quantify global star formation rates (SFR). Thegoal of these observations is to calibrate the thermal hard X-ray emission fromhigh-mass binaries, an independent SFR indicator free from dust extinction,against other indicators (e.g. radio, FIR, optical, H\alpha, and UV) and to forma self consistent model of star-formation in the local universe. This starformation template will provide the basis for understanding and relating thedeep surveys at X-ray, UV, and radio wavelengths that have already beenundertaken or are planned for the near future with {\it AXAF} and {\it XMM}.

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.
