| Description | Accretion inevitably produces disk winds, which has vast consequences. These outflows can regulate the accretion process, affect the long-term orbital evolution of the X-ray binary, and impact their cosmic environment. However, it is not established exactly how disk winds are launched, and how much mass is carried away by them. We propose to study the disk wind of a persistently accreting neutron star across the electromagnetic spectrum with XMM-Newton, HST and VLT. These simultaneous multi-wavelength data will determine the launch mechanism and mass content of the disk wind. This show-case study will highlight the impact of studying disk winds across the electromagnetic spectrum and pave the way for future observing programs. |

| 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. |
