Description | GT-The X-ray and ultraviolet light curves of X1822-371 will be measured over three 5.57 hour binary cycles in order to study the relationship of the accretion disk corona to the disk, and to measure the disk geometry. The X-ray spectrum of the source will be measured as a function of the binary phase, making use of the phase dependent obscuration of the accretion disk corona to separate different spatial components of the emission. |

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. |
