ABSTRACT
With 355 ks of XMM time we propose to cardinally advance our knowledge of X-rays from beta Cep variables. This important class of massive stars provides the unique opportunity to study connections between photosphere and wind. This study is prerequisite to build up models, where the stellar atmosphere and interior are treated consistently. We propose to double the sample of stars with known X-ray pulsational behavior allowing to unravel the mechanisms coupling the inner and outer layers of star. We also propose to conduct the dedicated survey of beta Cep variables to find the correlations between X-ray and stellar properties. The new XMM data will bridge between asteroseismology and the physics of stellar winds, and revolutionize our understanding of early

PAPERS
Authors marked in red are (co-)investigators in the proposal

Classification of papers are:
- CLASS 1:   papers that present specific XMM-Newton observations
- CLASS 2: papers that refer to published XMM-Newton results with complementary observations, follow-up analysis, or theoretical analysis
- CLASS 3: further deliveries which resulted from the program and which are made available to the community (e.g. source catalogues, processed images or spectra in public data base)
- CLASS 4: comments and suggestions from PI
