The central regions of galaxy clusters, frequently occupied by massiveelliptical galaxies with strong radio sources interacting with dense, X-rayemitting gas, are among the most interesting and physically active regions inthe Universe, and they have been extensively studied with contemporary X-rayobservatories. We here propose a deep observation of an exceptional object atthe low end of the cluster mass range, MKW 2, a rich galaxy group centered on acD that exhibits remarkably strong radio jets extending 400 kpc, a scale unusualeven in massive clusters. We will examine the interaction between cluster gasand radio source, measure the properties of the gas, and examine the nature ofthe temperature and abundance distributions.

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.
