Description We request a 56 ksec (40 ksec plus flaring) observation of a new Galactic
supernova remnant. Swift J132150.9-633350 was discovered this year as part of
the Swift Galactic Plane Survey; it is potentially the youngest SNR currently
known. Moreover, a faint point source lies near to the remnant, in the direction
of strong brightening of the remnant.s edge. This source may be an ejected
neutron star. The RGS is the best current instrument for high resolution
spectroscopy of extended sources. It will enable unique tests of gas velocities,
temperatures, and abundances, and illuminate the nature of the SN explosion.
EPIC timing and spectroscopy of the nearby point source will help to reveal the
nature of its spectrum, and place tight limits on any pulsed emission.

Mission Description The European Space Agency's (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESA's 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 Earth's 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.
