Abstract We propose a 20-ksec observation of the Supernova Remnant G335.2+0.1. Theprincipal aim of the observation is to detect thermal radiation and use it toestablish the hydrodynamic parameters and evolutionary state of the remnant. Thesecondary aim is to detect possible non-thermal radiation to constrain themagnetic field at the shock and the efficiency of cosmic-ray acceleration in theobject. The dedicated textit{XMM-Newton} exposure of G335.2+0.1 would provide uswith vital X-ray data needed to understand the distribution of cosmic rays inthe system and the relation between G335.2+0.1 and the TeV-band source HESSJ1626-490 that is coincident with a nearby molecular cloud.

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.
