Abstract	The nearby NGC 1407 Group shares properties with so-called fossil groups andpresents a possibility to study a representative of this interesting class withhigh spatial resolution. The elliptical NGC 1407 dominates a group that has fewintermediate luminosity galaxies, but a large entourage of dwarfs. The velocitydispersion of this group is 387 km/s, whence M/L_R = 340 M_sun/L_sun. The secondbrightest confirmed member, NGC 1400, has an extraordinarily deviant velocity of~1000 km/s in the group frame. ROSAT data reveal an X-ray tail between NGC 1400and NGC 1407 with a highly unexpected peak on top of a dwarf member galaxy.Possible explanations include a Bondi-Hoyle wake, stripped gas from NGC 1400, orsomething more exotic.

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.
