Abstract GT-A sample of X-ray binaries containing neutron starswith a supposed intermediate magnetic field strength(10**10 to 10**12 Gauss) is to be observed. The X-rayspectra will be analysed with the particular aim tosearch for cyclotron absorption lines in the energy rangeaccessible to XMM.It is to be noted that observation 1 (4U 0115+63) willhave to be a target of opportunity (TOO) observation, witha trigger to come from CGRO/BATSE and/or RXTE/ASM.

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.
