Description Some cataclysmic variables exhibit a multicomponent power density spectrum of
fast variability. High-cadence long-term Kepler data of MV Lyr showed 4
different characteristic components, while XMM X-ray observations of RU Peg in
quiescence contained two different components. Modelling studies suggest a
variety of accreting disc structures as the source of variability. However, we
still depend on speculations because the source identification is not
unambiguous without combined optical and X-ray observations of the same system.
Since it is technically impossible to obtain optical Kepler data of RU Peg, we
propose to observe MV Lyr in X-rays and UV with XMM. The goal is to search for
the two highest break frequencies found in the Kepler data.

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.
