ANTICIPATED TIMELINE FOR NEXT XMM-NEWTON ANNOUNCEMENT OF OPPORTUNITY: AO-21

The planned key milestones for the Twenty-first XMM-Newton "Announcement of Opportunity" have been established. Within this AO-21 a new call to submit proposals for observations to be performed with the XMM-Newton observatory will be issued

To be prepared for this, please find below the anticipated timeline:

Announcement of Opportunity 17 August 2021
Due date for Proposals 8 October 2021 (12:00 UT)
Final OTAC approved programme mid December 2021

 

For approved proposals only:

Start of Phase II proposal submission 10 January 2022
Closure of Phase II proposal submission 4 February 2022
Start of observations May 2022

 

The official "Announcement of Opportunity" will be made public in the XMM-Newton News and on the XMM-Newton Science Operations Centre Home Page.

LET US KNOW ABOUT XMM-NEWTON RELATED PH.D.

As already announced in previous issues of this Newsletter, the XMM-Newton team is collecting information about the completion of doctorates and Ph.D. theses based on (or making use of) XMM-Newton observations.

We would appreciate if you - being a candidate or a supervisor of a doctorate - could let us know details through the page

    http://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/xmm-newton/phd-theses

Also, we would be grateful if you could inform us (via a message to xmmhelp@sciops.esa.int, with subject "Ph.D. thesis work") in case you are aware of theses from, or supervised by, colleagues that make use of XMM-Newton data but are not yet included in the above list.

 

Yours sincerely,

XMM-Newton SOC
