| Description | Following our detection for the first time of X-ray emission from ashock associated with a protostellar jet (from L1551 IRS5) we proposeto observe with XMM two shocks associated with protostellar jets forwhich previous (unreported) evidence of associated X-ray emission ispresent. The collecting area of XMM will allow good S/N X-ray spectrato be collected, allowing to determine whether X-ray emission is ageneral characteristic of protostellar jets as a class and to studythe physical conditions in the two targets, also assessing theirinfluence on the conditions of e.g. the protostellar accretion disk. |

| 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. |
