Description GT-We propose to conduct a survey of the globular clusters
with larger cores in which faint sources have been observed by
ROSAT and EINSTEIN, and use the XMM spectral capabilities to
determine the nature of the dim sources. Characterizing the
content of globular clusters is of considerable interest for
theories of binary production and evolution, as well as dynamical
evolution and survival of the clusters in which they reside.

Question for ngc6656: The integrated V and B of the cluster are 6
and 7. Could that be a problem for the OM (magnifier mode)?

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.
