Description We propose to observe five X-ray-faint genuine elliptical galaxies (for 150
ksec). The observed tight correlation between Lx and T for a small sample of E
galaxies suggests that the retention of hot gas (potential depth) and the
balance between heating and cooling is closely regulated. The available data
suggest that the tight relation may extend down to log(Lx)virgul38.5. However,
theoretical predictions and numerical simulations suggest that the gas is in an
outflow/wind state at these Lx, predicting an end to the correlation. We propose
to constrain observationally the Lx-T relation at the lowest Lx to test the most
substantial effect of the baryonic physics and provide the necessary
confirmation of feedback recipes or the need for their corrections.

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.
