Abstract We propose a 45 ks XMM-Newton EPIC observation of SN 2001ci, a type Icsupernova (SN) that exploded around April 20, 2001 about 25 north of thenucleus of NGC 3079. While type II SNe have been established as X-rayemitters in nearby galaxies by Einstein and ROSAT detections, only one SNtype Ic, SN 1994I was detected. SN 2001ci is selected for its type and therelatively small distance for XMM-Newton follow-up observations. AnXMM-Newton observation of NGC 3079 by us shortly before the SN explosion isan additional benefit. For a better understanding of the shock wavesinteracting with the circumstellar matter around type Ic SNe X-raylightcurves and spectra are urgently needed.

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.
