Description Type Ia SN 2003lx was first discovered in X-ray through two serendipitous Swift
observations in 2008 January and the corresponding merged image revealed a
7-sigma source detection at 2.1+/-1.2 arcsec (0.9+/-0.5 Swift pixels) from the
opticalposition of the supernova. We propose a XMM-Newton observation of Type Ia
SN 2003lx to study its flux and spectral properties. If confirmed, SN 2003lx
will be the first concrete X-ray SN Ia detected. The X-ray emission will then
allow us to probe the interaction between the fast moving debris of the exploded
star and the circumstellar medium (CSM). This in turns provides footprints of
the mass-loss history of the exploded system, and may allow us to learn about
the nature of the progenitorand its companion.

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.
