| Abstract | New facilities like TESS will soon boost the number of known terrestrial planetsaround M stars. Stellar X-rays can severely affect planetary atmospheres, butmore than 40% of the M dwarfs within only 10pc lack appropriate data. We, thus,propose to continue our X-ray and UV XMM-Newton survey of all 37 still X-rayundetected M0-M4 dwarfs within 10pc. This 925ks Fulfil Project will provide theultimate constraint on M dwarf X-ray luminosity function, plasma temperature,short time-scale variability and UV spectral energy distribution, vital input tomodels of planetary atmospheres, dynamos and spin evolution, as a legacy forfuture stellar/exoplanetary modeling work. |

| 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. |
