| Abstract | We propose to observe the six most massive clusters at z>1.2, discovered via theSunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect by the South Pole Telescope (SPT). The proposed700 ks program will provide deep X-ray spectroscopy for a sample that is alreadyrich in multi-wavelength data from a variety of telescopes, including Spitzer,Hubble, and Chandra. These new data, coupled with spatially-resolved X-rayimaging from Chandra, will provide the first constraints on the thermodynamicprofiles for a complete sample of galaxy clusters at z>1.2, allowing us to studya variety of physical processes in clusters cores and outskirts, and testpredictions of self similarity and AGN feedback models, at a time shortly afterthese systems formed. |

| 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. |
