Radio and X-ray observations of supernovae (SNe) acquired in the poorly sampledphase of years to decades post-explosion are necessary to drive progress inseveral fundamental areas of explosive transient research. Bright emissionvirgulyears to decades post explosion of extragalactic SNe may be due to A)shock-interaction with the circumstellar medium; or B) the emergence ofradiation from a pulsar wind nebula. A solid identification of the scenariosabove would lead to significant advances in our understanding of the physics ofstellar explosions, their progenitors, and their remnants. We propose the firstsystematic late-time X-ray survey of SNe with bright detected radio emission.

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.
