   be performed with the XMM-Newton observatory.

   This Announcement solicits proposals to be carried out between May 2023
   and April 2024. Proposers from institutes located worldwide are welcome
   to participate. All proposals will be subject to peer review by the
   XMM-Newton Observing Time Allocation Committee.
