Abstract We propose joint XMM-Newton (30ks) and HST observations (3 orbits) of the nearbyK young star V1298 Tau (virgul20Myr) hosting four transiting exoplanets discoveredwith Kepler (K2), and included in a follow-up optical/IR campaign with HARPS-Nand GIANO-B@TNG. These young planets have radii between 5.6 and 10.3 R_Earth andthey are located between 0.08 and virgul0.3 AU from the host. They are stillexperiencing the contraction phase toward their final sizes and are subject tophotoevaporation effects at different rates. Our immediate objective is toreconstruct the full XUV spectrum, and to assess the spectral and timevariability of the host star. In this way we will characterize its activitylevel and the dose of high- energy radiation received by those very young planets.

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.
