Abstract | We propose a detailed investigation of the nature of two super-structuresdiscovered in the Planck survey and confirmed by XMM-Newton snapshotobservations. We aim at constraining the presence and properties of filamentarystructures connecting and surrounding the clusters. From this jointXMM-Newton/VLT proposal and together with the Planck SZE measurement and alensing analysis, we will unveil the overall dynamics of these two complexstructures and established their detailed pressure distribution. Thus we willperform a direct search for structures in between identified superclusterscomponents from an X-ray/optical analysis, and a careful comparison with precisePlanck SZE measurements. |

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. |
