| Description | We propose to observe a representive sample of local starburst galaxies at X-ray wavelengths as part of a multi-wavelength campaign to understand star-formation and quantify global star formation rates (SFR). The goal of these observations is to calibrate the thermal hard X-ray emission from high-mass binaries, an independent SFR indicator free from dust extinction, against other indicators (e.g. radio, FIR, optical, H\alpha, and UV) and to form a self consistent model of star-formation in the local universe. This star formation template will provide the basis for understanding and relating the deep surveys at X-ray, UV, and radio wavelengths that have already been undertaken or are planned for the near future with {\it AXAF} and {\it XMM}. |

| Mission Description | The European Space Agency's (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESA's 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 Earth's 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. |
