Abstract	We request to monitor 3 obscured HMXB composed by a neutron star and asupergiant OB companion (IGR J16418-4532, IGR J16393-4643 and IGR J18027-2016 inorder of preference) in order to study their spectral evolution along theirorbital period, particularly the hydrogenic column density. We plan to observethe 3 sources 5 times 7 ks (10 ks for IGR J16418-4532) for a total of 120 ks.Because of the strong interaction between the supergiant wind and the X-rayradiation of the accreted material, these sources are ideal laboratories tostudy 1) the relation between the column density, the soft excess and theorbital period, and 2) derive the properties of the stellar wind and thegeometry of the system.

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.
