| Description | We propose a moderately deep (120ks each for two positions) XMM observation of the existing Chandra Large Area Synoptic X-ray Survey of the Lockman Hole-Northwest field. This field represent the largest fully analyzed large solid angle, sensitive Chandra survey. In the uniform 36.x36. Chandra solid angle we have obtained optical spectra and redshifts of over 250 of the 525 sources as well as very deep (27 mag) optical multi-band images. Of these sources 127 of them are brighter than 1e-14 c.g.s where good quality XMM X-ray spectra are possible in moderate exposure times. The unique combination of XMM spectra and timing data, Chandra positions, and very deep optical, near-infrared, far-infrared, and submillimeter observations will enable the |

| 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. |
