Abstract We propose a 40 ksec XMM Newton observation of the low mass X-ray binary blackhole system Swift J1357.2 0933 in the quiescent state. The low column densitytowards the source makes it possible to obtain its quiescent lumi- nosity downto LX virgul1E30 ergs s-1. This limit, together with its short orbital period of 2.8hours makes it possible to test the ADAF interpretation for emission inquiescent black holes systems by testing the quiescent luminosity-orbital periodcorrelation in the unexplored regime of very short orbital periods.

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.
