[Hess-ap] XMM Multi-Year Heritage Programmes

Dear Jacco, Gerd, Regis, Manami, at the F2F-meeting of the Astrophysics WG conveners we have been discussing the possibility of HESS submitting a proposal to the recently (beginning of this month) announced XMM Multi-Year Heritage Programms https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/xmm-newton/news-20200203 and collected ideas as sketched in the pdf attached. As you being experts and experienced in both the X-ray and VHE regime we would like to get your opinion, and enquire whether you would be interested in and have the time to playing a significant role in this endeavor. We need to decide quickly whether we should give it a try (your expert opinion is here extremely important): The deadline of LoI submission is already next Monday! All the best, Anita
