This proposal is a re-submission of the approved XMM-Newton AO14 Very LargeProgram (VLP:1.6 Ms) URBE (Ultimate Roaming Baryon Exploration),aimed topostpone the remaining, and still unobserved, 840 ks of this program, to cycle15. The motivation for this request (which has been agreed upon with the XMMteam) is based on the recent claim of Quasi-Periodic modulation of our target(1ES 1553+113) O-to-gamma-ray lightcurve. According to this claim, 1ES 1553+113will reach again its maximum (10 times brighter than observed by XMM during thefirst 760ks of our program) around mid Feb 2017, exactly during the 2nd XMMvisibility window of this target during cycle 15. This is whye were asked tore-submit our original science proposal with such a request, which is what we are doing here.

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.
