Abstract	We propose to continue our monitoring campaign using XMM-Newton and Chandra ofthe inner 1.2 square degree region centered on the Galactic Center. We will beable to detect transients in this region with a peak luminosity of 1E33-1E35ergs/s, 10 to 1000 times more sensitive than what is possible with othersatellites (i.e., RXTE and INTEGRAL). This allows us to observe a very poorlystudied group of transients and to follow the luminosity behavior of faint(~1E36 ergs/s) persistent sources.

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.
