Abstract	Exhibiting a clear spatial separation between the gas and dark matter componentof a fastly accreted subcluster, the bullet cluster., 1E 0657-56, has providedus a unique laboratory to investigate the impact of violent cluster mergers onthe Intra-Cluster Medium, galaxies and dark matter properties. In recentanalyses of X-ray, optical and weak-lensing data, we show that the massivecluster A2163 also exhibits a crossing gas bullet separated from a galaxy anddark matter over-density, and suggest that both A2163 and 1E 0657-56 share acommon merging scenario possibly just differing in the time elapsed after theclosest cluster encounters. With this deeper XMM observation of A2163, wepropose to refine our knowledge of the dynamics and geometry of the on-going subcluster accretion.

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.
