We use XMM to map the cluster Abell 2199 intermediate region (<3/4 virialradius) and search X-ray faint substructures in a wide spacial range from agalaxy to a cluster and larger sizes. We observed this area with SUZAKU andfound a number of structures and a hint of asymmetric large scale emission.These substructures along with unresolved background sources should be resolvedspatially and covered fully with XMM imaging. Errors of the EPIC background willbe reduced by our SUZAKU deep spectra. These X-ray maps will be compared withour wide area weak-lensing data observed with SUBARU Hyper suprime-Cam. The XMMobservations provide uniquely a direct comparison among structures of galaxies,ICM, and dark matter.

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.
