| Abstract | We propose to observe 32 (28 with new exposures) among the brightest galaxygroups and clusters selected from the eFEDS sample with a total exposure time of226 ks.We will use the requested data to determine their temperatures to measure thespectral cross-calibration uncertainties between eROSITA and XMM-Newton.The size of the selected sample, together with its temperature coverage, willallow a firm constraint of any systematic difference between the two instrumentsand how this difference (if any) depends on the spectral temperature itself.Considering the current situation on the eROSITA} operations, we notice thatthe eFEDS exposure will be unmatched in the next future, providing a unique sample to investigate any cross-calibration among X-ray instruments. |

| 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. |
