Abstract (Abridged) The South Pole Telescope (SPT) galaxy cluster survey identified viathe Sunyaev-Zel.dovich (SZ) effect 158 massive clusters from its initial 720deg2 area. We are proposing to combine XMM-Newton, SPT, and weak lensingmeasurements for a sample of 20 intermediate redshift (0.3<z<0.5) uniformlyselected by their SPT detection significance from 560 deg2 survey area. Theseclusters will also have ground-based observations weak lensing measurements andin some cases also dynamical masses. Here we propose to complete the X-rayfollow-up of the intermediate redshift calibration sample to uniform sensitivityand selection by observing the last 4 clusters without X-ray data andre-observing 4 clusters strongly affected by soft proton flaring.

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.
