| Description | We propose to observe nearby repeating fast radio bursts (FRBs) with XMM Newton to probe for X-ray counterparts to radio bursts. This will test whether they are consistent with predictions from young magnetar progenitor theories. Recent evidence, such as the detection of a FRB-like burst from the Galactic magnetar SGR 1935+2154, suggests that magnetars may be the engines of at least some FRBs. We will compare X-ray observables, like burst luminosity and temporal properties, to those predicted from magnetar progenitor theories. To probe as deep as possible, we will provide fully simultaneous radio coverage to provide times of radio bursts during the XMM observations. This will allow us to search for X-ray bursts in as narrow a time and spatial window as possible. |

| Mission Description | The European Space Agency's (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESA's 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 Earth's 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. |
