| Description | Massive stars disperse the ISM by a combination of their powerful stellar winds, supernova (SN) explosions and their UV fluxes. At large scales (>1 kpc) the UV radiation plays a critical role in the evolution of galaxies, but at smaller scales (<100 pc) stellar feedback influence their stellar nurseries. Observational studies have been presented in the recent years arguing that the radiation pressure is significantly more important that the pressure resulted from the hot bubble interiors, but we note that such studies draw conclusions by interpreting low spatial resolution ROSAT X-ray observations. We started a revisitation of the X-ray properties of superbubbles in the LMC taking advantage of a superior effective area and rejection of contaminant point sources using XMM. |

| 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. |
