| Abstract | The recent discovery of a Jupiter-sized planet orbiting a very young, 11 Myr oldmid M dwarf is unprecedented in its promise for the investigation of how planetsaround low mass stars evolve. Substantial evolution of the planets atmosphere,shrinking the overall planet radius, is expected in its future. We propose anobservation with the XMM-Newtons EPIC cameras to investigate the current levelof X-ray irradiation of the atmosphere that, along with the EUV, is thought todrive atmospheric mass loss, particularly within the first few hundred Myr. Ourdirect measurement will be a key input to evolution simulations which we willrun to better understand this remarkable planets future. |

| 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. |
