Abstract We propose to obtain EPIC observations of an IR-selected galaxy cluster atz=1.41, currently the highest redshift of a known cluster. The target cluster isamong the richest found at z > 1 in our IRAC survey of the 9 square degreeBootes field. The X-ray data will allow us to determine 1) if the clusteralready has created a hot intracluster medium, as is suggested by a detection inshallow Chandra data, 2) the temperature and luminosity of the ICM, 3) the totalcluster mass, and 4) the total cluster mass to light ratio.

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.
