| Description | We propose non-disruptive ToO observations of two optically bright Galactic novae in outburst to observe their temporal UV evolution using the HST/STIS echelle. One ToO will target a Carbon-Oxygen type nova and the other ToO will be reserved for the next high energy gamma-ray detected nova. The Fermi/LAT detection of high energy gamma-rays is a recent and unexpected discovery whose mechanism in classical novae is not currently understood. In both cases, UV spectroscopy is essential for determining elemental abundances, mass, dynamics, and structure. Each nova target would also be observed with a single, high resolution XMM/RGS exposure obtained while X-ray luminous (as determined by our Swift X-ray monitoring). |

| 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. |
