Scientific paper

We propose to observe with XMM-Newton a selected set of 7 Fermi-LAT observed high galactic latitude gamma-ray sources that as yet have no identified counterparts in any other energy range. These sources have been detected by the Fermi-LAT with high confidence and are either active galactic nuclei, galactic pulsars, or an as-yet unidentified new class of gamma-ray sources. The proposed observations are for 20 ks per source covering the Fermi-LAT source error region. We will determine the X-ray flux for any sources detected by XMM-Newton within the Fermi-LAT region, and characterize the source spectra and temporal properties in the 0.2-10 keV energy band for these sources. A parallel proposal has been submitted to the VLA to map the same Fermi-LAT source regions.
