Description The runaway O-type binaries HD 14633 and HD 15137 were likely ejected from the
cluster of their birth by supernovae explosions in close binaries. Neither star
is a known X-ray source, but they likely contain neutron stars and may be weak
stellar wind accretion systems. Hence the two binaries have been classified as
quiet HMXBs. We propose observations with XMM-Newton that will detect the hard
power-law spectrum from accreting or quiescent neutron star companions and
reveal their evolutionary history.

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.
