Abstract | Double-source-plane (DSP) gravitational lensing systems offer a variety ofcosmological/astrophysical information, although they are rare. We discoveredthe DSP lens Eye of Horus in the Subaru HSC survey Program, and our follow-upspectroscopy makes this system the only DSP lens to date with spectroscopicconfirmation of both source redshifts. Recently, we have found two massiveclusters in the lens plane, likely affecting the lens potential. In order todisentangle the complex environment to exploit this unique system, we propose a40 ksec XMM observation of the system, which will allow us to determineaccurately the clusters. X-ray centroids, potential shapes, and individual gasthermodynamic properties, providing valuable priors for detailed lens modeling. |

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. |
