Abstract Groups of galaxies and poor clusters of galaxies are best laboratories forstudying history of the universe. The Fornax cluster is the nearest (about 20Mpc) poor cluster with the smallest-iron mass-to-light ratio. In order to studytemperature, entropy and metal distribution and constrain metal enrichment andthermal history in the intracluster medium, we propose to survey the Fornaxcluster up to 0.3 times of the virial radius.

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.
