Scientific paper

Solar Wind Charge Exchange contributes a significant background to X-ray observations of extended astrophysical objects. For objects covering or extending beyond the instrumental FOV, determining the background from the observation itself is difficult or impossible and a separate observation of the background may produce incorrect results, as the strength and spectrum of the SWCX emission is temporally variable. We will use the SWCX time variability to study and characterize its properties. We propose 4 observations of the same target spread over 2 years, to maximize the effect of the slowly varying SWCX emission. The target is the high latitude molecular cloud MBM12, to remove the effect of background emission and maximize the SWCX signal.
