Description Chromospheric activity cycles are often found in old stars, but their coronal X-
ray counterparts have been difficult to catch. Thanks to XMM-Newton, X-ray
cycles have been detected in four stars, moving forward an exploration of the
parameters space of dynamo cycles (activity level, cycle length, etc.). Two
stars with known X-ray activity cycles are relatively young (500Myr), rising the
question at what age and activity level X-ray cycles set in. We propose here 4
short (6ksec) observations of Kepler63. It is younger (250Myr), has higher
activity (logLx=29.02[erg/s]) and a shorter cycle (1.27yr) that the previous
targets for such dedicated studies. A single XMM-Newton observing season can
cover 1/2 of a full cycle with short snapshots.

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.
