This proposal is part of a multi-wavelength survey of the Vela SNR which intendsto test the different models of shock-cloud interaction in the SNRs. We proposeto observe a bright region in the northern rim of the Vela shell, alreadyincluded in a recently approved ESO proposal. The selected region presents allthe characteristic features of the shock-cloud interaction and the study of itsX-ray emission, together with the analysis of available EPIC observations of twoadjacent regions, will allow us to obtain a complete high spatial resolutionscenario of the shocked plasma in this part of the Vela SNR. The X-ray data willbe compared also with photometric and spectroscopic optical data of the sameregion to obtain important constraints for the physics of the shocked plasma.

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.
