| Description | GT- ASCA and ROSAT observations have revealed new compact X-ray sources in supernova remnants which based on the X-ray spectrum and follow-up radio and optical observations are considered candidates for neutron stars. We propose the objects in Puppis-A and N157B in the LMC to be deeply observed by XMM in order to get accurate spectra and photon statistics to search for pulsations or otherwise temporal changes. |

| 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. |
