Abstract The combination of all data of the BeppoSAX Wide Filed Cameras has revealed thedetection of a number of active galactic nuclei and galaxy clusters. Six brightsources, which are confirmations of ROSAT detections, are yet without adetermined nature. We propose to carry out short exploratory observations withXMM-Newton of these objects, in order to determine their spectrum and short-termvariability and identify possibly interesting features for follow up in futureXMM-Newton or Chandra AOs.

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.
