Magnetars (AXPs and SGRs) go through long stretches of quiescence, interruptedby periods of activity, characterized by bursts and significant variability influx, spectral shape, pulse shape, and pulsed fraction; they also exhibitglitches. Observations performed during, or immediately after such periods ofhigh activity yield the largest amount of information, allowing to test thetheoretical models on a variety of phenomena and source states. We propose arapid ToO program aimed at gathering new physical insight on these sources,through the study of the very initial phases (within 10 days) of the outburstsof known or newly discovered magnetars.

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.
