Description We propose six observations of one high inclination black hole low mass X-ray
binary (LMXB) at different stages of its outburst. We will investigate the
presence of X-ray narrow absorption/emission features in the XMM spectra, which
are a signature of a disc wind, and their relation to the accreting regime. Such
features, identified with ions like FeXXV and FeXXVI, have been observed in a
number of LMXBs and give us information about the mass outflow rate and the
launching mechanism of the wind. With simultaneous radio observations we will
probe the jet power as a function of the wind properties and how the radio flux
density correlates with the X-ray flux at different accretion regimes. We will
also investigate the broadening mechanism of the FeK emission line detected up to now in several LMXBs.

Mission Description The European Space Agency's (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESA's 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 Earth's 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.
