摘要：

The ESA X-ray Multi Mirror mission, XMM-Newton, carries two identical Reflection Grating. Spectrometers (RGS) behind two of its three nested sets of Welter I type mirrors. The instrument allows high-resolution (E/Delta E = 100 to 500) measurements in the soft X-ray range (6 to 38 Angstrom or 2.1 to 0.3 keV) with a maximum effective area of about 150 cm(2) at 15 Angstrom. The satellite was successfully launched on December 10, 1999, from Guyana Space Centre. Following the launch the instrument commissioning was started early in 2000. First results for the Reflection Grating Spectrometers are presented concentrating on instrumental parameters such as resolution, instrument background and CCD performance. The instrument performance is illustrated by first results from HR 1099, a non-eclipsing RS CVn binary.
