| Abstract | The galaxy cluster PLCK G165.7+67.0 (z=0.35) is in the top 1 % brightest sourcesin the Planck sky, as a result of strong lensing of background star-forminggalaxies at z=2. The mass estimated from the lens model appears inconsistentwith the lack of X-ray detection in the ROSAT/RASS survey, but may be explainedby a non-equilibrium state of the cluster, as indicated by its bimodal galaxydistribution and extended radio halo, as well as the presence of two NarrowAngle Tail (NAT) galaxies. We request a 75ks XMM observation to determine thecluster???s dynamic state, which enables us to measure the position of the X-rayhalo(s) and to search for shocks. These complementary capabilities will greatlyaid the interpretation of the upcoming JWST observations of this cluster. |

| 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. |
