Abstract	The Swift Galactic Plane Survey is a simultaneous X-ray -- UV survey, tiling theGalactic plane from -60 leq l leq 60 to -1 leq b leq 1 through a series ofshallow 500s exposures, that will obtain complete coverage in the 0.3 -- 10 keVband in addition to simultaneous imaging at UV wavelengths (~ 2200AA). Here, wepropose to observe a sample of 10 newly discovered X-ray sources. None of theproposed fields have previously been observed by either Chandra or XMM-Newton.The order of magnitude improvement in sensitivity provided by the proposedobservations will allow us to characterize these new sources based on theirobserved X-ray spectral properties.

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.
