| Abstract | We propose deep XMM-Newton observations of two lenticular galaxies: NGC 3665 (75ks) and NGC 4526 (110 ks). Taking advantage of both the RGS and EPICinstruments, we aim to probe for the first time the chemical composition (viathe O/Fe and Mg/Fe ratios) and accurate thermodynamical profiles (andmorphologies) of hot atmospheres at the yet unexplored regime ofintermediate-mass galaxies. Measuring and comparing the X-ray properties ofthese two optically very different galaxies will provide significant insight on(i) the origin of hot atmospheres pervading lenticular (and spiral) galaxies,and (ii) the thermal feedback at play in these systems (compared to that ofellipticals, galaxy groups, and clusters). |

| 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. |
