Scientific paper

We propose to observe the young accreting star V1118 Ori with XMM-Newton for 100ks during AO5. We aim to obtain a high signal-to-noise ratio CCD spectrum to quantify the X-ray properties of V1118 Ori in outburst in detail. Our goal is to detect additional spectral components than the dominant plasma detected in the CCD spectra obtained during previous short observations. The long exposure will help us to study the short-term variability of V1118 Ori in the X-rays, and to correlate it with the optical and near-infrared light curves. The XMM-Newton data will complement our approved Chandra X-ray monitoring that will continue in 2006. The X-ray data will help us to understand the interplay between the accretion disk and the magnetosphere and photosphere of an accreting young star.
