| Abstract | The present proposal carries forward the monitoring of the cycling behavior of 5solar type stars in 3 systems, that has taken place in each observing cyclesince XMM AO1. The clear detection of cycles in 2 of the stars has provided thefirst example of cyclic behavior in the corona of stars other than the Sun, andis providing unique proxies to understand whether the Sun.s behavior is typicalor not. |

| 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. |
