Abstract	Massive stars have strong winds, which collide in massive binaries, giving riseto hard and varying X-ray emission. Cyg OB2 #5 is such a case. It was recentlyfound to be a quadruple system and changes in its X- ray emission indicate thatX-rays arise in the wind-wind collision (WWC) between the close binary and thethird star. In this context, X-rays are a crucial tool to constrain the orbitalparameters, but available observations only probe two phases of the 6.7 yr orbitof the third star. A monitoring (one observation per year) is thus needed and wetherefore request in this AO a short exposure observation (10 ks) to betterunderstand this iconic system.

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.
