XMM-Newton AO-15 OTAC Results
-----------------------------

The list of XMM-Newton proposals  accepted by the AO-15 Observing Time
Allocation Committee (OTAC) and  the associated proposal abstracts are
available at

http://xmm.esac.esa.int/external/xmm_news/otac_results/ao15_results/

The Principal Investigators of  submitted proposals have been informed
by  e-mail about  the  results  of the  OTAC  evaluation. The message
contains the  details about the  second phase proposal  submission for
successful observations, which must  be done via the XMM-Newton Remote
Proposal Submission System  (XRPS). The XRPS will close  on the 5th of
February 2016 at 13:00 UT.

AO-15 observations will start to be routinely performed in May 2016.



New Call for Participation in the Athena Working Groups
-------------------------------------------------------

Athena was selected by ESA Science Programme  Committee as the mission
for the 2nd Large mission opportunity.

The Athena  Science Study Team  has re-opened the  application process
for  membership  of  the  Athena  Working  Groups.  The  deadline for
applications is 31 December  2015.  Applications will be assessed soon
after this with the aim to appoint new members in February 2016.
