| Description | Radio galaxies take a variety of morphology. One particularly interesting class is the bent radio source as it probes the environment and provide constraints on properties of ambient medium and dynamics. Future radio surveys will detect millions of bent radio sources, unleashing its great potential to study ICM/IGM and dynamics. On the other hand, it is still unclear whether all bent radio galaxies are associated with groups and clusters. In this proposal, we focus on nearby (z<0.04) NATs to test the simple hypothesis that all NATs are in groups or clusters. A sample of NATs not in known groups/clusters are selected for XMM observations. For their proximity, they present best chances to invalidate the hypothesis, which would have important implications for the formation of NATs. |

| 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. |
