Users Group meeting #14: Invitation from UG to contact them for comments
========================================================================

The XMM-Newton Users Group (UG) will hold its yearly meeting next 16th
and  17th May at  ESAC.  As  always, we  would like  to invite  you to
contact any  of the members  of the UG  and/or myself if you  have any
sort of  feedback, suggestion or topic  that you would like  the UG to
discuss in relation to the XMM-Newton operations.

The amount of feedback that  we have been receiving recently is rather
modest. Although  this might be attributable  to XMM-Newton operations
having   reached   some   maturity,   there   is   always   room   for
improvement.  Please note that  we rely  on your  views to  advise the
project on how to make XMM-Newton a better X-ray observatory.

Thanks for your help,

Xavier Barcons, Chair, XMM-Newton Users Group


Note the new UG membership:

X. Barcons (chair), H. Boehringer, A. Decourchelle, C. Done, M. Guedel,
M. Mendez, R. Mushotzky, C. Sarazin, B. Stelzer and M. Salvati
(OTAC Chair).


A dedicated Web page of the Users Group is available at:

http://xmm.esac.esa.int/external/xmm_user_support/usersgroup/

This Web  page provides, among  other information, the  contact points
for  all interested  astronomers  to  send their  comments  to the  UG
members.



XMM-Newton 2013 Science Workshop:
Financial Support for Students (deadline 21st April)
and Science Programme available
====================================================

As announced in a previous issue of the XMM-Newton Newsletter

http://xmm.esac.esa.int/external/xmm_news/news_list/xmm_news-2013-02-13.shtml

the XMM-Newton Science Operations  Centre of the European Space Agency
is organising an astrophysical workshop:

           Energetic Phenomena in Isolated Neutron Stars,
             Pulsar Wind Nebulae and Supernova Remnants

           from Wednesday 22nd to Friday 24th May 2013
                at the European Space Astronomy Centre
                            Madrid, Spain

Publishing XMM-Newton Results
=============================

When publishing  an article using  XMM-Newton data, please  follow the
XMM-Newton publication guidelines at

http://xmm.esac.esa.int/external/xmm_science/pub_guide.shtml

In particular,  please remember to  include the information  needed to
uniquely  identify the  XMM-Newton  data that  have  been used.   Such
details  will allow  us to  link every  observation in  the XMM-Newton
Science Archive to the publications in which it has been employed.



Yours sincerely,

XMM-Newton SOC
