Forward of XMM SOC e-mail bulletin

*********************************************************************

Dear colleagues,

please be reminded of the following important information concerning
the first Announcement of Opportunity for submitting XMM proposals:

1. The deadline for AO-1 proposals is April 17 1999, 00:00 UT.

2. Close to the deadline, network performance might degrade - and
   with it access to our online XMM Remote Proposal Submission
   software. Therefore, please submit your proposals well before 
   the deadline!

3. Please make sure to define exposures for all six XMM science
   instruments (EPIC pn, EPIC MOS-1, EPIC MOS-2, RGS-1, RGS-2, OM)
   FOR THE ENTIRE DURATION OF THE PROPOSED OBSERVATIONS!
   If OM observations should be prohibited by the presence of 
   excessively bright sources, exposures covering the entire length
   of the planned observations should still be defined - however the 
   OM MUST then be put into the GO-OFF mode.

Best regards,
on behalf of the XMM Project Scientist,

Michael Dahlem
