Abstract	While significant progress is being made on identifying the nature of thenumerous hard X-ray IGR sources that have been discovered by the INTEGRALsatellite, a significant fraction still remain unclassified. Our group has beenfocusing on studies of the IGR sources in the Galactic plane, many of which areHigh Mass X-ray Binaries with extreme properties, such as strong variability andvery high levels of local absorption. For both IGR J01363+6610 and IGRJ17507--2856, short Chandra observations have left several possible but nodefinite counterparts, and we propose XMM-Newton observations of these twosources to find the correct soft X-ray counterpart.

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.
