Abstract	We propose to study star formation associated with giant, asymmetric HII bubblesvia three observations of the nearby bubble Cepheus Loop. An ACIS-I GO pointing(50ks) will characterize the rich and compact principal ionizing cluster Be59.XMM EPIC/pn pointings (2x30ks) will search for low-mass members of a suspectedolder generation of stars that could have both carved the Cepheus Loop andinduced the formation of Be59, testing an important model for the morphology andevolution of asymmetric bubbles.

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.
