| Description | Simultaneous observations with the high sensitive telescopes XMM-Newton and H.E.S.S. are an important tool to shed light on the identification of the emission processes and the particle acceleration in the jet of active galactic nuclei. We request two 20ks observations during 2 consecutive XMM-Newton revolutions, which will maximize the simultaneous X-ray-TeV coverage, on the high energy peaked BL Lac object 1ES 0229+200. This source was detected up to 10 TeV and is besides 1ES 1426+428 the only source with z greater than 0.1 that has been measured up to this high energy. Therefore this source is well suited for probing known emission models and for deriving conclusions about the extragalactic background light. |

| 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. |
