| Abstract | CPD-28 2561 is the only known magnetic O-star without high-energy observations.However, because of the particular geometry of this object, it represents acrucial step towards a full understanding of the dynamic magnetospheres ofhigh-mass stars. We propose to fill this gap by observing it in X-rays as wellas in UV, both with high-resolution and with a monitoring to sample crucialphases. These complementary data will help us constrain the energetics, shockphysics and 3D structure of the magnetosphere of this unique object. |

| 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. |
