| Description | CAL-RGS effective area calibrations, EPIC effective area calibrations, EPIC timing GT-PSR0540-69 is part of the RGS Supernova Remnant Survey of the LMC. It is the only bright, compact nonthermal object in the sample. Its spatial extent is so small that it appears as a point source to the XMM optics. Using the large throughput of the RGS, we will search the spectrum for the (expected) signature of thermal line emission from a supernova shock. |

| 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. |
