Description
The fermi, agile, and egret gamma-RAY telescopes have discovered more than a dozen transient sources of GEV gamma rays near the galactic plane. Only six of these sources have been identified at other wavelengths, four as novae, a new class of GEV gamma-RAY sources. The physical nature of the other galactic gamma-RAY transients is still unknown. These GEV transients may potentially represent a new class of gamma-RAY emitting objects. We propose XMM-newton too observations of new transients discovered with the fermi LAT in the galactic plane. The XMM-newton observations will enable US to more accurately localize the transients, identify counterparts at other wavelengths, determine their x-RAY flux and spectrum, and characterize their variability.
