Abstract	Our goal is to test the nature of the compact object in NGC 300 X-1, oneof only a trio of likely Wolf-Rayet, black hole systems using NuSTAR andXMM-Newton. As a primary challenge, we will test whether a neutron starmodel is compatible with the observations. If, as expected, we confirm thatthe compact primary must be a black hole, then we will analyze its spin asa function of mass and inclination. NuSTAR will firmly anchor the Comptoncomponent thereby allowing us to accurately disentangle the Compton andthermal emission. Without high-energy coverage, no meaningful constraint ispossible. Accordingly, this science is uniquely feasible using NuSTAR andXMM-Newton in concert.

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.
