| Abstract: | The XMM-Newton X-ray observatory was launched at the end of 1999 and it is still successfully operated. In addition to the
X-ray instruments, the payload carries a small telescope, the Optical Monitor, which provides simultaneous imaging and spectroscopic
observations in the optical and UV ranges. In this report we review the status of the OM and its main achievements after 10
years of operations. We also introduce the XMM-OM Serendipitous Ultra-violet Source Survey (SUSS) Catalogue. |
