Description The cluster radio relic PKS B1400-33 in the poor cluster Abell S753 will be
observed with XMM/Newton and NuSTAR to detect and image the nonthermal Inverse
Compton emission. This is the second brightest cluster radio relic known.
Remarkably, it is associated with a relatively poor, cool cluster. Although it
has many properties similar to other cluster radio relics, it is possible that
it is an old radio lobe, displaced by motions or buoyancy. These observations
will be a strong test of merger shock acceleration processes, and will give the
magnetic field, nonthermal energy, and shock acceleration efficiency. The
observations will allow the dynamical state of the cluster to be determined, and
will detect the merger shock which is expected to be associated with the relic.

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.
