Reminder: Anticipated timeline for AO-11
========================================
Announcement of Opportunity 23 August 2011
Due date for proposals 07 October 2011 (12:00 UT)
Final OTAC approved programme mid December 2011
For approved proposals only:
Start of phase II proposal submission 10 January 2012
Closure of phase II proposal submission 03 February 2012
Start of AO-11 observations May 2012
The official "Announcement of Opportunity" will be made public in a
dedicated issue of this Newsletter and on the XMM-Newton Science
Operations Centre web site.
Joint XMM-Newton / HST programme in AO-11
=========================================
Following the recommendation of the XMM-Newton and HST Users Groups
(see issue #125 of this Newsletter) a joint XMM-Newton/HST pilot
programme is going to be offered in the next call, AO-11. The
procedure to request time on both observatories will be similar to the
procedures established for the joint XMM-Newton/Chandra and
XMM-Newton/VLT programmes. This joint programme may be extended in
the future pending on the interest within both communities, and
following reviews by both UG on the subscription and allocation of
proposals in response to the next XMM-Newton and HST Announcements of
Opportunity.
XMM-Newton Users Handbook update for AO-11
==========================================
The XMM-Newton Users Handbook (UHB) has been updated to version 2.9 in
preparation for the next Announcement of Opportunity (AO-11).
The UHB contains information on the instrumentation on board
XMM-Newton and serves as the main technical support document for
proposal preparation, based on which potential XMM-Newton users can
assess the technical feasibility of their planned observations.
The XMM-Newton Users Handbook is available on-line at
http://xmm.esac.esa.int/external/xmm_user_support/documentation/uhb
Alternatively, pdf and postscript versions of the UHB can be
downloaded from the "XMM-Newton Proposer's Info and Manuals" portal
at
http://xmm.esac.esa.int/external/xmm_user_support/documentation
Conference announcement: IAU Symposium 284
"The Spectral Energy Distributions of Galaxies"
===============================================
The organisers of IAU Symposium 284 wish to draw the attention of the
XMM-Newton community to this symposium, which will be held from 5th to
9th September 2011 at the University of Central Lancashire, Preston,
UK.
Topics included in "The Spectral Energy Distributions of Galaxies" are
modelling techniques relating X-ray emission from galaxies and AGN to
emissions in other spectral regimes, as well as application of these
techniques to the interpretation of X-ray data from individual sources
and populations of sources in the local and distant Universe.

Conference announcement: "The first LOFT Science Meeting"
=========================================================
The LOFT consortium is pleased to announce the first LOFT Science
Meeting to be held in
Science Park, Amsterdam (Netherlands)
26-28 October 2011
LOFT, the Large Observatory For X-ray Timing, is a newly proposed
space mission concept, selected by ESA as one of the four M3 mission
candidates that will compete for a launch opportunity at the start of
the 2020s. The scope of the meeting is to solicit full involvement in
this opportunity from the wider astronomical community and make a full
study of the exciting science that could be done with the instruments
on-board LOFT.
Perspective participants are encouraged to visit the meeting web page
at
http://www.isdc.unige.ch/loft/index.php/meetings/loft-science-meeting
and to subscribe to the LOFT newsletter

Yours sincerely,
XMM-Newton SOC
