Abstract	We propose a re-observation of NGC 499 which, with NGC 507, forms one of thebest examples of a group-group merger in the local universe. Excellent archivalXMM data for NGC 507 is available, but ~80% of our 55 ks AO5 observation of NGC499 was lost to background flaring. With this re-observation we will be able toproduce high resolution spectral maps of both groups and the gas between them,providing a wealth of data on the effects of the merger on the two systems. Wewill search for signs of tidal stripping and gas compression, and produce modelsof the temperature, abundance and mass distribution out to ~600 kpc, providingdetailed information on the structure of the two systems and shedding light onthis important stage in the evolution of groups.

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.
