| Description | Both the ICM and galaxies have bulk motion inside clusters, providing clues on the cluster dynamics. The interaction between the ICM and galaxies plays a vital role in galaxy evolution, dramatically shown by a stripping tail sometime. X-ray tails of late-type cluster galaxies were only detected recently. Detailed studies of these systems allow better understanding for ram- pressure stripping, galaxy transformation, mixing of the stripped cold ISM with the hot ICM, r^ant micro-physics and intracluster SF. In this proposal, we request XMM time to study one of the X-ray brightest and the closest clusters A1367. It is an ideal system to study both X-ray tails (a new sample of Ha tails and rich amount of multi-band data) and cluster merger (multiple merger events and at least one shock). |

| 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. |
