| Description | Outbursts of super-massive black holes (SMBHs) have a significant impact on structure formation and evolution. However, AGN heating from SMBHs has not been well studied in galaxy groups. The main reason is that groups are X-ray faint around the center, especially for those hosting strong radio AGN. We propose XMM observations of two nearby galaxy groups 3C 66B and IC 2476, both of which host strong radio AGN, to study AGN feedback in groups. XMM.s high sensitivity at soft X-ray band makes it the best instrument for this project. The results will fill the little-explored regime of the L_{radio} - L_{power} plane for galaxy groups and improve our understanding of AGN heating in groups. |

| 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. |
