Scientific paper

We propose a 40 ks XMM observation of the Z source GX 349+2, to perform a detailed study of the iron K-shell features and other low energy features in this source. In particular this source is known to show a broad (0.7 keV FWHM) iron K_a line: several hypothesis were proposed to explain the width of these lines (relativistic and Doppler effects in an accretion disk, Compton scattering, line-blending), and we expect that the good energy resolution of XMM will be able to resolve the complex line shape and to constrain the various models proposed. Furthermore, since some emission lines were already observed in GX 349+2 with BeppoSAX below 3 keV, a proper study of these low energy features are an important diagnostic tool for the physical conditions of the emitting regions.
