| Abstract | We propose a high-resolution spectral and timing study of the ultraluminousX-ray source (ULX) NGC 5204 X-1, one of the closest and brightest in its class.An XMM-Newton observation of 250 ks (split into two epochs) will determine thegeometry and physical properties of the accretion disc and relativisticoutflows, shedding new light on super-Eddington accretion. Taking advantage ofthe source variability and strong lines, we will constrain: a) theluminosity-temperature trend of the disc components; b) the connection betweenthe outflow and the accretion regime; c) the conical structure of the outflow inanalogy with SS 433 and d) its kinetic feedback. |

| 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. |
