Scientific paper

Fast stellar winds from massive stars sweep up the surrounding gas to form bubbles. The shocked stellar wind reaches X-ray-emitting temperatures. Only two bubbles have been confirmed to emit diffuse X-rays: NGC 6888 and S308. Both bubbles are blown by Wolf-Rayet stars, contain processed stellar material ejected by their progenitors, and have X-ray luminosity 1-2 orders of magnitude lower than theoretical predictions. Our AO1 XMM-Newton EPIC observations present the first high-resolution image and clean spectrum of the diffuse X-ray emission from the interior of S308. The S/N of the data was compromised by a high background. We request a re-observation of the AO1 pointing and 3 new observations to study the detailed global structure of S308.
