| Abstract | We propose to observe 8 galaxy groups with a total exposure time of 68 ks tocomplete observations for a flux limited sample consisting of 67 objects. Wewill use this well-defined sample to study the scaling law properties of locallow-mass systems. Only with the requested observations we will be able tocorrect for sample selection effects entering in the scaling relations,increasing the constraining power by a factor of 2 compared to previous samples.Furthermore, we will determine detailed thermodynamic profiles within R2500(i.e., the region where simulations differs more noticeably) putting constraintson the feedback processes. |

| 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. |
