Abstract | We propose two follow up XMM EPIC observations of ROSAT PSPC images of the CMaR1 star-forming region showing (1) a rich cluster of stars, (2) a large, brightextended emission. We want to improve severalfold the previous sensitivity limitfor point sources, allowing in particular detailed spectral studies. Also, wewant to establish the true nature of the extended X-ray emission, whichcoincides with a bright optical nebula conjectured for the last twenty years tobe a supernova remnant triggering star formation in the vicinity, but whichmight also be a superposition of unresolved X-ray emitting young stars. |

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. |
