XMM-Newton AO-10 Long Term Plan
===============================

The scheduling  of the tenth cycle of  XMM-Newton observations, AO-10,
started on May 1st 2011 and is  expected to finish at the end of April
2012.

On May  6th, the  long-term scheduling plan  for the AO-10  period has
been released at:

     http://xmm.esac.esa.int/external/xmm_sched/advance_plan.shtml

Principal Investigators  of pending XMM-Newton  observations can check
this plan, especially if scheduling constraints were granted following
the Time Allocation Committee recommendations.


11th XMM-Newton SAS Workshop: deadline for registration May 27th
================================================================

As announced in XMM-Newsletter issue  #119, the 11th SAS Workshop will
be  held  at the  ESA's  European  Space  Astronomy Centre  (ESAC)  in
Villanueva de la  Canada (near Madrid, Spain) between  the 6th and the
10th of June 2011.

SAS  Workshops  aim  at   providing  XMM-Newton  users  with  a  basic
introduction to  the procedures and  techniques to reduce  and analyse
XMM-Newton data.   The 5-day workshop is organised  around 5 half-days
of presentations  and 5 half-days of practical  training sessions. The
sessions cover all aspects of data reduction and data analysis for the
X-ray instruments and the Optical Monitor on-board XMM-Newton.

The  pre-registration  deadline is  now  over  and final  registration
deadline has been set to Friday May 27th. Interested persons that have
not done  it yet are  encouraged to register.  More  information about
the workshop  and registration process  can be found at  the following
page:

No fee is required to attend the SAS Workshop.



Yours sincerely,

XMM-Newton SOC
