Renamed XMM-Newton in honour of the great British physicist Sir Isaac Newton, it represents the most important European contribution to astronomy in the X-ray band. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The satellite was launched on <strong>December 10<\/strong><\/span><strong><span class=\"s2\"><sup>th<\/sup><\/span><\/strong><span class=\"s1\"><strong>, 1999<\/strong> from Kourou (French Guyana), with a 504 Ariane vector. It is equipped with<strong> three X-ray telescopes<\/strong> with an unprecedented collection area and a visible-band telescope. Thanks to its great sensitivity and the possibility to carry out long, uninterrupted observations, it\u2019s an extremely powerful instrument for astronomy in the X-ray band ranging from 0,2 to 10 keV. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In cooperation with other European institutes and with the contribution of the Italian Space Agency (ASI), the National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF) developed the European Photon Imaging Camera (EPIC), the main XMM-Newton instrument. EPIC consists of three independent CCD detectors, placed on the focal plane of the tree XMM telescopes. The INAF was in charge of the AIV process of the instrument, and actively contributed to nearly all the stages of the development of EPIC, from designing to ground calibration. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Starting from the launch, XMM-Newton <strong>discovered hundreds of thousands of X-ray sources<\/strong>, many of which were studied in an extremely detailed manner from a spectral and temporal point of view. XMM is providing a very important contribution to solve several unresolved problems in the field of astrophysics, from black hole physics to the origin of the Universe. XMM observation time is made available to the scientific community through a yearly competitive call. <\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The X-ray Multi-Mirror (XMM) was the second \u201ccornerstone\u201d in the \u201cHorizon 2000\u201d programme by the European Space Agency (ESA).
