Description We propose to observe the slowly rotating M3.5 type planet host star GJ 4276
with XMM-Newton for 12 ks. In the frame of the CARMENES radial velocity survey,
a Neptune-mass planet with one of the most eccentric orbits (e=0.38) known to
date has recently been discovered around GJ 4276. The host star is close to the
boundary of fully convective stars. Optical photometry shows GJ 4276 to have a
rotation period of 65 d, making it one of the slowest rotators known in its mass
range. Our proposed XMM-Newton observation will allow us to characterize the
X-ray emission of this star, put it into the context of slowly rotating M
dwarfs, and determine the irradiation level of its planet.

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.
