| Abstract | We propose contemporaneous NuSTAR and XMM-Newton observations of the recentlyclassified IMXB 4U 1210-64 for 40 ks. Taking advantage of the excellent timingand spectral resolution of NuSTAR, we will perform broadband continuumspectroscopy and look for signatures of a NS or BH such as pulsations, QPOs andCRSFs. With XMM-Newton, we will probe the geometry and ionization structure ofthe accretion flow onto the compact object using the high spectral resolution ofRGS; measure the profile of the Fe Kalpha, Fe XXV and Fe XXVI emission lines aswell as search for emission lines of lower Z ions. Our observation of 4U 1210-64holds broader astrophysical r^ance in characterizing the circumstellarenvironment in IMXBs and will be the first observation of 4U1210 with grating resolution. |

| 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. |
