Abstract | We propose a dedicated INTEGRAL monitoring program of the ultra-compact X-raybinary and micro-quasar 4U0614+091 to study its emission properties in hardX-rays. 4U0614+091 harbours the closest active X-ray burster, it exhibitsvariations on different time scales over the electromagnetic spectrum, such assynchrotron jet emission, X-ray flaring states, and thermonuclear X-ray bursts.Moreover, the high energy persistent emission is characterised by a particularlyhard (non thermal) X-ray tail. We want to survey the dynamical behaviour, betterdescribe its spectrum in hard X-rays, to follow the evolution of the long termpersistent emission variability, and to investigate the activity of shorter timescale processes. We request joint XMM and INTEGRAL observations. |

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. |
