Abstract	GT - The Circinus Galaxy is the closest and one the brightest Seyfert IIgalaxies in the sky. The X-ray spectrum is dominated by recombination andfluorescent lines from a wide range in degree of ionization. High resolutionX-ray spectroscopic studies will allow us to determine the structure of theactive nucleus through measurements of velocity fields and temperatures of theemission line regions.

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.
