Description Exploiting the relationship between CO luminosity and line width determined for
fainter starbursts, we have built a sample of rare, intrinsically luminous
galaxies. Panchromatic observations of the best candidate, led to the
discovery of at least five spectroscopically confirmed luminous galaxies
across a virgul100-kpc region at z=2.41: the progenitor of a massive cluster. Here,
we propose to obtain X-ray observations of this unique system, along with
adaptative-optics-assisted SINFONI observations of several atomic lines towards
the most luminous of these galaxies, matched in quality and resolution to our
CO cubes. The proposed joint XMM/VLT observations will enable us, with all
previous intensive follow-up, to fully understand the nature of this system.

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.
