The nuclear starburst, flat spectrum spiral NGC6217 offers the possibility to resolve spectrally with XMM-Newton its one-sided jet-like radio and X-ray filament, extending out to 2.7' (18.8 kpc) in the SW of the galaxy. According to ROSAT observations, the jet's X-ray spectrum seems to be harder than that of NGC6217 and its luminosity in the 0.5-2.0 keV band ~1.7 10E39 erg/s. NGC6217 stands out as the fourth nearest jet galaxy known. Here, we propose a deep XMM-Newton observation of this extraordinary source to resolve the jet from the emission of the galaxy and do a detailed spectral investigation of the jet.
