Abstract | The shallow potentials of galaxy groups make them vulnerable to heating and gasloss caused by powerful AGN outbursts. Theoretical models suggest that feedbackat z~2 must have ejected gas from groups, reducing their baryon content, but alack of identified nearby non-cool-core (NCC) groups makes it difficult todetermine whether AGN continue to have such a significant impact on thestructure of the intra-group medium (IGM). We propose a deep observation of HCG15, a disturbed non-cool-core group which appears to have undergone anexceptionally powerful AGN outburst ~190-330 Myr ago. We will search forcavities, make a more accurate estimate of the outburst power, examine the IGMfor evidence of outward gas transport, and determine whether the AGN has disrupted the group core. |

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. |
