Description | We propose to perform two 35 ksec ToO follow-up observations of X-ray luminous sources that we identify in association with IceCube cosmic high-energy neutrinos, using the AMON multimessenger framework. Since identification of the first probable source of high-energy neutrinos in 2018, the blazar TXS 0506+056, multiwavelength follow-up of IceCube.s neutrino alerts has proven its utility for characterizing multimessenger neutrino and electromagnetic sources, and we aim to use this approach to identify more such sources. We will conduct XMM-Newton follow-up studies of counterparts identified via Swift/XRT observations. While capable of rapid response, |

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. |
