| Abstract | Studying outflows of X-ray binaries is important for understanding the physicsof accretion, the evolution of compact binaries, and dynamics of the localinterstellar medium. UW CrB is a high-inclination low-mass X-ray binary with anorbital period of 111 min, for which we have recently identified a transient UVoutflow and which shows hints of outflows at X-ray and optical wavelengths. Wepropose a comprehensive XMM-Newton (120 ks), HST (6 orbits) and VLT (6 hr)campaign to investigate the transient and multi-wavelength character of theoutflow in UW CrB, aiming to determine the nature and physical properties of theoutflow. Our proposed study will greatly enhance our general understanding ofoutflows in low-mass X-ray binaries. |

| 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. |
