| Description | We have been awarded a Large Program in AO11 to gather spatially resolved X ray spectroscopy on a sample of 32 massive (M_500 > 5e+14Msun) clusters detected blindly by Planck in the redshift range 0.5<z< 1. Using for the first time a statistically significant sample in this high-mass, high-redshift regime, our aim is to study the fundamental scalings between YSZ, YX and M500, and the pressure and entropy profiles. This will provide an important probe of the physics of cluster gravitational collapse and be of large legacy value for the cosmological exploitation of the Planck sample. We propose to re-observe 8 targets, the observations of which are dramatically affected by flares. |

| Mission Description | The European Space Agency's (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESA's 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 Earth's 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. |
