Abstract	Although jets are ubiquitous and important components in many differentastrophysical systems, their formation remains very poorly understood. Thepole-on jet in the symbiotic system MWC 560 serves as a Rosetta Stone forunderstanding pulsed, highly collimated, jets. We propose to use XMM for X-rayobservations of the symbiotic star MWC 560. It provides us with a uniqueopportunity to observe the launch site of the jet, the shock-induced propagationof the jet, and its end point, where the ejecta merge into the jet head. Wedetected with XMM a hard component from the accretion site and a soft componentassociated with the jet. Further observations are required for solving questionsconcerning the accretion process and for characterizing the soft component.

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.
