The high throughput of XMM-Newton makes it the ideal instrument to provide low to moderate resolution spectroscopy of faint and extended sources. After 3 years of operations, XMM-Newton has observed many types of astronomical sources and delivered very interesting results in many areas. In this review, we highlight a few points where the contribution of XMM-Newton has significantly furthered our knowledge of the energetic Universe.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2003-06-20T10:25:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "xmm-newton", "moderate resolution spectroscopy", "energetic universe", "x-ray observatories", "ideal instrument" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 21, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 621595, "adsabs": "2003astro.ph..6411B" } } }
