JCA Successes in XMM-Newton AO-5

Summary

Members of the JCA are Principal-Investigators (PIs) on 4 proposals awarded time on XMM-Newton in response to the European Space Agency's AO-5 Call for Proposals. Members of the JCA are Co-Investigators (Co-Is) on an additional 13 proposals. Combined, these proposals involve 7 different JCA members (including 1 graduate student), and have 42 unique (non-JCA) collaborators from 28 other institutions in 11 countries.
