Abstract The success of current galaxy evolution models hinges critically on the role ofAGN and SN feedback. We propose for X-ray observations with XMM-Newton to study20 galaxy groups in ZENS with known galaxy and AGN populations to test the roleof AGN and galaxy feedback in such models. The proposed XMM X-ray data will alsoquantify to what extent the intra-group medium affects galaxy evolution, in theordinary intermediate-density environment of galaxy groups, through physicalprocesses such as ram pressure and strangulation.

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.
