| Description | We propose a legacy class observation of 11 groups and clusters of galaxies with a total exposure time of 1590 ks to study the enrichment history in a large sample of 29 clusters and groups. This sample will be a definitive sample, because it comprises all nearby clusters that can be observed successfully with RGS. Using the combined power of RGS and EPIC, we will put constraints on the SNIa explosion mechanism, SNcc models and the IMF in the cluster core regions through accurate abundance measurements of 10 elements. The deep EPIC data will allow us to map the spatial distribution of iron, and in some cases silicon, to determine the enrichment mechanism operating in the Intra-Cluster Medium. |

| 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. |
