2002年9月，XMM-牛顿观测到了巨大的土星。我们提出并分析这些XMM-牛顿观测，并将我们的发现与土星的钱德拉观测进行比较。XMM-牛顿数据受到可见光的污染在中等和薄的过滤器中被发现是严重的，但是使用厚过滤器，所有可见光都被充分阻挡，并且在这个过滤器中观察到的信号被解释为真正的X射线发射，这被发现在定性和定量上非常类似于土星的钱德拉光谱。
The giant planet Saturn was observed by XMM-Newton in September 2002. We present and analyse these XMM-Newton observations and compare our findings to the Chandra observations of Saturn. Contamination of the XMM-Newton data by optical light is found to be severe in the medium and thin filters, but with the thick filter all optical light is sufficiently blocked and the signal observed in this filter is interpreted as genuine X-ray emission, which is found to qualitatively and quantitatively resemble Saturn's Chandra spectrum very well.
