| Abstract | The overarching goal is to identify the unknown progenitors of both H-poor,core- collapse and Calcium-Rich supernovae (SNe) by mapping the mass-losshistory in the final years before explosion through the novel combination ofX-ray emission and flash spectroscopy as a probe of the circumstellarenvironment. This coordinated observational technique is now possible with ouraccess to the Young Supernova Experiment (YSE), a new untargeted transientsurvey designed to systematically discover SNe in the first days afterexplosion. |

| 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. |
