Abstract	The Helix Nebulas central white dwarf (WD) exhibits hard X-rays and strongmid-IR emission not expected from its photosphere. Analyses of Spitzerphotometric and spectral observations suggest the presence of a dust disk atr=50-100 AU. Accretion of this circumstellar dust onto the WDs surface may powerthe hard X-ray emission. We have found additional 9 WDs with 24 um excesseswhich may also originate from dust disks. We request EPIC observations of the 4closest hot WD with mid-IR excesses to help determine whether there is a causalconnection between the mid-IR excess and hard X-ray emission. The X-rayluminosities, spectra, and temporal variations will be used to evaluate whetheraccretion powers the hard X-ray emission.

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.
