Abstract | HD101088 is a young binary accreting from a tenuous circumprimary and/orcircumsecondary disk despite the apparent lack of a massive dusty circumbinarydisk. We propose to observe it with RGS with an exposure of 60 ks to detect theemission lines from the O VII He-like ion and look for potential high-densityplasma at the base of the accretion flows. HD101088 is a unique target toinvestigate the physical properties of the accreting gas and the stellar coronaafter the dissipation of the dust disk. |

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. |
