Description Although fossil systems are thought to be very old, only a few display
above-average concentration parameters. Recently, using Chandra and Suzaku data
extending out to R2500 of the well-studied fossil group NGC 6482, we measured
c200 that exceeds the mean LCDM c-M relation by 6 sigma with respect to the
intrinsic scatter and by 3.5 sigma with respect to the measurement error. The
extreme outlier status, if confirmed, would pose a challenge to LCDM galaxy
formation, since the scatter in the c-M relation is robust and insensitive to
cosmological parameters. We propose a deep XMM-Newton observation of NGC 6482 to
obtain precise measurements of the gas properties out to R500, particularly the
temperature, to verify the high c200 and cement its status as the most extremely evolved fossil system known.

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.
