| Abstract | Late-time observations of type II supernovae (SNe II) are a window into theuncertain mass-loss history of their red supergiant (RSG) star progenitors aswell as a direct probe of the physics of shock interaction as SN ejecta collidewith distant circumstellar material (CSM). We propose target of opportunity(ToO) XMM observations of SNe II following UV/optical imaging through anapproved HST snapshot program. The novel combination of X-ray, UV and opticalwavelengths will construct the first spectral energy distribution of its kind,capable of directly constraining the unknown thermalization efficiency ofradiation produced by the SN shock. These observations will also directlyconstrain the highly debated mass-loss histories of RSGs. |

| 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. |
