Abstract | As a unique nearby analog of high-redshift galaxies at the peak of cosmicstar-formation, the starburst ESO 338-4 provides a key laboratory to studystellar feedback. We propose deep Chandra observations of this templatestarburst to determine the luminosity function of X-ray binaries, establishtheir association with star clusters, and measure energetics of hot bubbles.Existing HST images will allow to identify optical counterparts of the X-raysources. Detecting a well sampled population of X-ray binaries is required tomeasure the X-ray radiative field in the galaxy and to probe the theory ofmassive binary evolution. Fulfilling these goals demands 300 ks ACIS-I time. Wefurther request 80 ks XMM to probe ULX pulsations and to spectroscopically map the hot galactic corona. |

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. |
