We present the results of a new XMM-Newton observation of the interacting
supernova 1995N, performed on July 27, 2003. We find that the 0.2-10.0 keV flux
has dropt at a level of 1.44e-13 erg cm^-2 s^-1, about one order of magnitude
lower than that of a previous ASCA observation performed on January 1998. The
X-ray spectral analysis shows statistically significant evidence for the
presence of two distinct components, that can be modeled with emission from
optically thin, thermal plasmas at different temperatures. From these
temperatures we derive that the exponent of the ejecta density distribution is
n ~ 6.5.Comment: 3 pages, 2 figures. To appear in proceedings of the International
