Scientific paper

We propose a ToO (triggered) observation with XMM-Newton of the atoll source 4U 1705-44 during a soft state. A Chandra observation of this source clearly indicate the presence of a broad (sigma ~ 0.7 keV) iron line. Both a relativistic disc line and a thermal Comptonization broadening fit well the line profile. The superior sensitivity at the iron line energy of XMM-Newton is needed to give a definite answer to the problem of the origin of the broad iron line.
