Abstract We propose to revisit the site of the gamma-ray burstof October 25 2000. This was the subject of an XMMToO observation, and two X-ray sources were found.In the relatively short ToO observation, no statisticallysignificant evidence could be found for fading, so we donot know which source is the GRB counterpart. What makesthis interesting is that this was a dark burst, i.e.one with no detectable optical counterpart. Few host galaxies haveyet been identified for such bursts, and it is not understoodwhy these bursts are dark.

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.
