Abstract	We propose two 45 ksec observations of A168 (z=0.047), a two-component clusterin a merger state in the plane of the sky. The cluster is characterized, as seenby Chandra, by an apparent cold front in the direction of motion in front of onesubcluster center. This is contrary to other mergers (e.g. RXJ0658-55) where thecold fronts trail behind the subclusters. It is necessary to produce highlyresolved temperature maps in order to categorize these clusters and tounderstand their formation and infer the history of heating the intra-clustergas. This is not possible with the existing Chandra data due to limited photonstatistics. The analysis of the XMM data will allow for a detailed study of theproperties of the cold tongue of gas which may solve the riddle of mergers.

Mission Description	The European Space Agencys (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESAs 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 Earths 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.
