Abstract CAL- During periods of low visibility, the primary target 1es0102 will besupplemented by observations of the bright LMC supernova remnant N132D. Due tosource brightmess, small windows are used in EPIC -2.5ks overhead. Only UVW2 andUV grism usable in OM. Overhead 1ks per filter. A tempalate for a repeatedobservation without PA constraint is provided

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.
