Abstract We request 190 ks of additional XMM-Newton time to complete our accepted 700 ksAO-9 Legacy program survey of M33. Rather than pad our AO-9 request to accountfor high background periods, we decided to proceed nominally and assess thebackground in the actual data. Four of the fields lost from 30 to 80 ks of theirplanned 100 ks time. We propose observations of these significantly impactedfields to bring the overall depth of exposure on each field to a similar level,thus improving the analysis. The complete survey will cover the entire regionenclosed by the D25 isophote, providing extensive information on the timing ofXRBs, the spectra of the largest known population of extragalactic SNRs, and theconnections between star formation and the hot component of the ISM.

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.
