Abstract	The complex circumstellar ejecta of the most luminous, evolved cool stars revealmultiple, asymmetric mass loss events. The loops, arcs and knots were ejected atdifferent times in different directions apparently by localized processes fromseparate regions on the star. Strong magnetic fields measured in their ejectasupport suggestions that their episodic mass loss may be driven by surfaceactivity. We are proposing an exploratory XMM search for X-ray emission thatshould be associated with this surface convective/magnetic activity.

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.
