Description GT- We propose to observe a sample of the supernova remnants in the Magellanic
Clouds. The sample is comprised of E0102-72.3, N49, N103B, PSR0540-69.3 and
0519-69.0. These SNRs form a biased sample of the SNR population (they are
drawn from the brighter and smaller ends of the distribution), but the sample
spans the spectrum of origin, age and dynamical conditions: Two are type Ia,
two are type II (one with a pulsar) and the other is evolved and containing
a known soft gamma repeater. This set, studied using the RGS, promises
unambiguous spectra and line diagnostics that provide strong clues that
address the composition and physical state of the interstellar medium within
the MCs, as well as that of the ejected stellar material.

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.
