Description | We propose to obtain a deep image of the redshift z=0.22 cluster MS0735.6+7421. The cluster.s enormous system of cavities and shocks are depositing 5-8E61erg into the ICM. Heating the cluster at a level of virgul1/2 keV per particle, this is enough energy to quench a 200 M0/yr cooling flow for several Gyr and to .preheat. the cluster. The image will be used to examine the impact of AGN heating on the L-T relation, to constrain the temperature of the gas filling the cavities, to measure the temperature jump across the shock, and to search for evidence of earlier outbursts. |

Mission Description | The European Space Agency's (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESA's second cornerstone of the Horizon 2000 Science Programme. It carries 3 high throughput X-ray telescopes with an unprecedented effective area, and an optical monitor, the first flown on a X-ray observatory. The large collecting area and ability to make long uninterrupted exposures provide highly sensitive observations. Since Earth's atmosphere blocks out all X-rays, only a telescope in space can detect and study celestial X-ray sources. The XMM-Newton mission is helping scientists to solve a number of cosmic mysteries, ranging from the enigmatic black holes to the origins of the Universe itself. Observing time on XMM-Newton is being made available to the scientific community, applying for observational periods on a competitive basis. |
