ABSTRACT | |
This proposal is a re-submission of the approved XMM-Newton AO14 Very Large Program (VLP: 1.6 Ms) URBE (Ultimate Roaming Baryon Exploration), aimed to postpone the remaining, and still unobserved, 840 ks of this program, to cycle 15. The motivation for this request (which has been agreed upon with the XMM team) is based on the recent claim of Quasi-Periodic modulation of our target (1ES 1553+113) O-to-gamma-ray lightcurve. According to this claim, 1ES 1553+113 will reach again its maximum (10 times brighter than observed by XMM during the first 760 ks of our program) around mid February2017, exactly during the second XMM visibility window of this target during cycle 15. This is whye were asked to re-submit our original science proposal with such a request, which is what we are doing here. |
