XMM-Newton AO-12 OTAC Results

The list of XMM-Newton proposals accepted by the AO-12 Observing Time Allocation Committee (OTAC) and the associated proposal abstracts are available at

     https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/xmm-newton/ao12_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 be closed on the 1st of February 2013 at 13:00 UT.

AO-12 observations will start to be routinely performed in May 2013.

Let us know about XMM-Newton related Ph.D.

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. Ideally, it is our intention to collect the complete list of Ph.D. works based on XMM-Newton data and this is why we need your help.

We would appreciate if you - being a candidate or supervisor of a doctorate - could let us know the following details:
Please contact us through the Helpdesk at:
