|Hot Gas in the Low-Metallicity Star-Forming Small Magellanic Cloud
|Dr Rosa Williams
|The hot phase of the interstellar medium in a galaxy is produced by the energy feedback of massive stars. Although the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) offers an ideal laboratory for the study of hot gas generated by active star formation in a low metallicity environment, there have as yet been few studies of this diffuse component. Thus, we propose medium-depth XMM-Newton observations of 5 previously unobserved fields along the main body of the SMC. These fields contain regions of active star formation. The mechanical energy of stellar winds and supernovae from massive stars have created interstellar structures filled with hot gas, on a variety of scales. We will analyze the X-ray and multi-wavelength data to quantitatively assess the stellar energy feedback.

|The European Space Agency's (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESA's second cornerstone of the Horizon 2000 Science Programme. It carries 3 high throughput X-ray telescopes with an unprecedented effective area, and an optical monitor, the first flown on a X-ray observatory. The large collecting area and ability to make long uninterrupted exposures provide highly sensitive observations.
Since Earth's atmosphere blocks out all X-rays, only a telescope in space can detect and study celestial X-ray sources. The XMM-Newton mission is helping scientists to solve a number of cosmic mysteries, ranging from the enigmatic black holes to the origins of the Universe itself. Observing time on XMM-Newton is being made available to the scientific community, applying for observational periods on a competitive basis.

"Mchanganyiko wa ""Mashine ya Moto"" katika Duniani ya Magellanic Cloud, ambayo ni sehemu ya ""Mashine ya Moto"" ya Magellanic Cloud, ni sehemu ya ""Mashine ya Moto"" ya Magellanic Cloud, ambayo ni sehemu ya ""Mashine ya Moto"" ya Magellanic Cloud." Ingawa wingu dogo la Magellan (SMC) ni maabara bora ya kuchunguza gesi moto inayotokana na nyota zinazozalishwa katika mazingira yenye madini machache, bado kuna masomo machache ya sehemu hii ya kuenea. Kwa hivyo, tunapendekeza uchunguzi wa kina cha kati wa XMM-Newton wa mashamba matano ambayo hayajawahi kuonekana hapo awali kando ya mwili kuu wa SMC. Mashamba hayo yana maeneo yenye kuanzishwa kwa nyota. Nishati ya mitambo ya upepo wa nyota na supernova kutoka nyota kubwa zimeunda miundo ya kati ya nyota iliyojaa gesi moto, kwa viwango mbalimbali. Tutachambua data ya X-ray na multi-wavelength ili kutathmini kwa kiasi maoni ya nishati ya nyota. """Mafunzo ya kwanza ya uchunguzi wa X-ray ya Shirika la Anga la Ulaya (ESA) ni ""X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission"" (XMM-Newton) iliyozinduliwa na Ariane 504 mnamo Desemba 10, 1999." XMM-Newton ni sehemu ya pili ya mpango wa sayansi wa Horizon 2000. Ina vifaa vitatu vya juu vya X-ray na eneo la ufanisi lisilo na kifani, na mfuatiliaji wa macho, wa kwanza kuruka kwenye kituo cha uchunguzi wa X-ray. Eneo kubwa la kukusanya na uwezo wa kufanya muda mrefu uninterrupted exposures kutoa uchunguzi nyeti sana. Kwa kuwa angahewa la Dunia huzuia miale yote ya X, ni darubini-upeo tu katika angani inayoweza kugundua na kuchunguza vyanzo vya miale ya X vya angani. XMM-Newton ni mradi wa kisayansi unaoweza kufunua mambo mengi ya siri ya ulimwengu, kuanzia kwa mashimo meusi hadi kwa asili ya ulimwengu. Wakati wa kuchunguza juu ya XMM-Newton unapatikana kwa jamii ya kisayansi, kuomba kwa vipindi vya kuchunguza kwa msingi wa ushindani.
