| Description | We propose to re-observe 19 XMM-LSS AO5 fields significantly affected by radiation during AO5 operations. They are part of the XMM Large Programme dedicated to full coverage of the Spitzer SWIRE legacy survey. Given the modest nominal observing time per pointing (10 ks), full exposure and low background over the entire area are necessary to fulfil the survey goals: studies of cluster number counts, the evolution of clusters and cluster galaxies, the AGN correlation function, and multi-lambda analysis of the AGN population. |

| 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. |
