| Abstract | The ongoing eRosita survey (eRASS) is expected to discover several millions ofnew X-ray sources and double the number of known Galactic X-ray binaries (XRBs).This will help to clarify several long-standing questions related to theaccretion physics in low-luminosity XRB, their numbers, origin, and evolution.To fully realise this potential, follow-up observations in X-ray and other bandsare, however, essential. Here we propose to start the exploration of this newexciting dataset with XMM-Newton and follow-up several new High mass X-raybinary (HMXB) candidates identified with Rosita in order to confirm preliminaryidentification and study their X-ray properties in detail. |

| 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. |
