Abstract We propose to observe the low-mass active binary FK Aqr with XMM for 70ks. Thisobservation will result in a high-resolution RGS spectrum in the 5-40 Angstromrange and high quality timing data from the EPIC detectors. Measuring the linefluxes of various temperature and density sensitive ions will allow us todetermine whether the corona of FK Aqr is heated by continuous microflaringactivity, construct the emission structure of the corona, measure abundances andestablish whether the FIP effect or other anomalies operate on it.

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.
