Abstract	We propose to finish mapping the supernova remnant RX J1713.7-3946 byreobserving one 20 ks pointing which was lost to flaring activity: 1) to obtainthe full and most detailed description of the morphology of the X- raysynchrotron emission to serve as a reference for other wavelengths 2) to comparehow particle acceleration proceeds when the SNR is interacting with molecularclouds or with a tenuous ambient medium 3) to map the material interacting withthe SNR from the variations of the X- ray absorption and compare it to thepotential hadronic gamma-ray emission 4) to map accurately the spectral indexvariations of the X-ray synchrotron emission and look for spatial correlationswith the gamma-ray spectra

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.
