| Description | RX J1713.7 3946 is the poster-child of CR accelerator and is among the brightest X- and gamma- ray non-thermal emitters. While the X-ray emission is dominated by synchrotron, we have revealed thermal emission from the central region of the SNR. This lifted the veil of an unknown aspect of this SNR and preliminary results suggests that this might be a common feature. In view of the questions raised by the recent XMM, Chandra, Fermi, and HESS results, now is the time to undertake a deep X-ray coverage of the entire SNR. |

| 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. |
