| Description | We propose a joint Chandra ACIS-I and XMM-Newton EPIC/pn observing program todiscover the still unknown population of the star-forming region NGC7000/IC5070,at 600 pc. Recent Spitzer data have shown this region to host 2000 or moreYoung Stellar Objects of Classes 0 to II, but missed Class III stars, whichare expected to be numerous as well. The requested combination of high-spatialresolution ACIS data (3 pointings, total exposure: 144 ks), and wider-fieldEPIC data (3 pointings, total exposure: 73.5 ks) optimizes coverage of bothclustered and diffuse YSO populations. These data will permit studies of thestar formation history, early cluster evolution, mass spectrum and segregation,with unprecedented accuracy for this rich region. |

| 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. |
