Description The Gaia-ESO Survey will provide the first homogeneous spectroscopic study of
the kinematics and elemental abundances of open clusters. Combined with X-ray
data, it will allow a complete characterization of the cluster populations and
of magnetic activity as a function of age, metallicity, ambient environment and
dynamical evolution, improving our understanding of the activity-rotation-age
relationship. Here we propose to observe the four young open clusters IC 4665,
NGC 2451, NGC 6504 and NGC 6716, to complete the sample of nearby clusters in
the Survey observed with modern X-ray telescopes, and to fill the gaps in the
crucial 30-100 Myr age range where the transition from pre-main sequence to main
sequence X-ray activity regime occurs.

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.
