| Abstract | We propose to complete the exposures for four targets that are part of ourMulti-Year Heritage Programe, CHEX-MATE (2018-2021), to obtain homogeneous X-raycoverage. Aiming to study the ultimate products of structure formation in massand time through observations of a large, unbiased, signal-to-noise limitedsample of galaxy clusters detected by Planck via theirSunyaev-Zeli??i??i??dovich effect, the CHEX-MATE observations have now beenfully executed. However, a number of observations were severely flared and lackmore than 30% of the requested exposure time needed to meet our data qualityrequirement. Per the AO22 Policies and Procedures, this Fulfil programme will...assist in the completion of the sample...and help homogenize the exposure .... |

| 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. |
