| Description | We propose a mosaic of 6 deep XMM pointings, 100ks each, to cover uniformly a large, 1 deg2, and contiguous area of the ELAIS S1 region. This has been already observed in the far-IR with ISO, and in optical and radio bands. In one year this area will be surveyed with SIRTF in 7 IR bands from 3 to 160 micron by the approved Legacy program SWIRE, which will make the largest sky region deeply surveyed in the far IR for the next several years. The main purpose of this proposal is to investigate the correlation between the formation and light-up of supermassive black holes in galactic nuclei and the formation and evolution of galaxies. |

| 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. |
