Dear Colleague, 20-August-2024 NASA is pleased to call to the attention of members of the U.S. scientific community the release by the European Space Agency (ESA) of the Announcement of Opportunity (AO), "XMM-Newton Call for Observing Proposals", soliciting Guest Observing proposals for the 24th cycle (AO-24) observing program for ESA's X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton). The subject Announcement solicits proposals for observations to be performed during a 12-month period commencing in May 2023. Due to the nature of the NASA-ESA bilateral agreement, only proposals from scientists affiliated with U.S. institutions are solicited by this Letter; others are advised to contact ESA directly. U.S. scientists may propose either as Principal Investigators or as Co-Investigators on proposals with either U.S. or non-U.S. (foreign) PIs. The AO may be accessed directly from ESA at the following address: https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cosmos.esa.int%2Fweb%2Fxmm-newton%2Fao24&data=05%7C02%7Cxmmnews%40lists.nasa.gov%7C7cf223d56f6f4943819b08dcc1f6f38c%7C7005d45845be48ae8140d43da96dd17b%7C0%7C0%7C638598513589110658%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=WGCLwkFOkLz0yHBciwr2nS6Y9RvU5XSC8iUSoOFSmqE%3D&reserved=0 The XMM-Newton Guest Observer Facility (GOF) at the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) is the support center for XMM-Newton activities in the U.S. Information of interest to U.S. observers, as well as general project information, can be found at the following address: https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/xmm/xmmgof.html A detailed description of the mission, including instrument capabilities and additional information pertaining to the proposal preparation and submission procedures, is also available via links from the XMM-Newton home page at that address. (General questions concerning XMM-Newton and participation by U.S. investigators should be addressed to: xmmhelp@bigbang.gsfc.nasa.gov.) ESA will be responsible for conducting a peer review of all submitted proposals, including those from U.S. investigators, and determining the associated time allocation. Current plans call for ESA to notify proposers and NASA of the results of the peer review in mid-December 2024. The level of funding available for the U.S. Guest Observer (GO) program will be determined, pending a successful outcome of the 2025 NASA Senior Review of Operating Missions.
