Using the XMM-Newton satellite we have observed four fields of unidentified high Galactic latitude sources from the initial August 2008 Fermi/LAT source list: AUG0026, b = -10.9 degrees; AUG0070=0FGLJ1231.5-1410, b = +48.4 degrees; AUG0144=0FGLJ2302.9+4443, b = -14.0 degrees; and AUG0145, b = -52.2 degrees. The observations consisted of roughly 20 ks for each unidentified source field utilizing both the EPIC-pn and MOS cameras. The fields of view of both instruments are approximately 30 arcmin in diameter and thus well matched to the error regions of our Fermi/LAT sources. We characterize the 0.2-10 keV X-ray spectra and fluxes for all the X-ray sources detected by XMM-Newton within the Fermi/LAT unidentified source error regions and compare these observed X-ray sources to optical and radio source survey results for these fields.
