Scientific paper

The XMM-Newton Observatory is the second cornerstone in the European Space Agency's (ESA) Horizon-2000 program. It is aimed at providing an facility providing high-throughput spectroscopy with capabilities complimentary to Chandra. It was successfully launced on 10 December 1999 from Kourou spaceport in French Guyana, on the first commercial flight of the Ariane-V. First results will be presented on the possibilities and results obtained with the XMM-Newton observatory. One of the major components in the high performance of XMM-Newton is its design which features the use all instruments in parallel and the presence of an Optical Monitor with a capability for low-dispersion spectroscopy. Results will be shown which highlight the full capability of the observatory.
