Anticipated timeline for next XMM-Newton Announcement of Opportunity: AO-19

The planned key milestones for the nineteenth XMM-Newton "Announcement of Opportunity" have been established. Within this AO-19 a new call to submit proposals for observations to be performed with the XMM-Newton observatory will be issued.

To be prepared for this, please find below the anticipated timeline:

Announcement of Opportunity 20 August 2019
Due date for Proposals 11 October 2019 (12:00 UT)
Final OTAC approved programme mid December 2019
 

For approved proposals only:

Start of Phase II proposal submission 8 January 2020
Closure of Phase II proposal submission 31 January 2020
Start of observations May 2020
 

The official "Announcement of Opportunity" will be made public in the XMM-Newton News and on the XMM-Newton Science Operations Centre Home Page.

Let us know about XMM-Newton related Ph.D. and prizes for XMM-Newton results

As announced in previous issues of this Newsletter the XMM-Newton SOC is collecting information about the completion of doctorates and Ph.D. theses based on (or making use of) XMM-Newton observations.

We would appreciate if you - being a candidate or a supervisor of a doctorate - could let us know details through the page

     http://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/xmm-newton/phd-theses
 

We would be grateful if you could inform us (via a message to xmmhelp@sciops.esa.int, with subject "Ph.D. thesis work") in case you are aware of theses from, or supervised by, colleagues that make use of XMM-Newton data but are not yet included in the above list.

In addition, the XMM-Newton SOC is compiling a list of prizes won based on XMM-Newton results, see

     https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/xmm-newton/prizes
 

Information about such prizes can be sent via e-mail to the Helpdesk (xmmhelp@sciops.esa.int) indicating the name of the winner, year, prize name and granting institution.

 

Yours sincerely,

XMM-Newton SOC
