Scientific paper

We propose to observe the bright X-ray source Cyg X-2 as an ideal candidate to study the chemistry of the diffuse Interstellar Medium (ISM). We will study the two phases of ISM (gas and dust) through spectroscopy of the absorbed spectrum and the spectral and spatial analysis of the X-ray dust scattering halo. The study of the scattering halo of Cyg X-2 unveiled for the first time features from the ID constituents. To perform a quantitative measurement of the chemistry of the Interstellar Dust (ID) grains a large collective area, a large field of view, and a broad band coverage, like the one provided by XMM, is needed.
