| Abstract | The Planck Mission has provided a statistically representative datasetconsisting of 1,653 clusters identified through the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ)effect over the entire sky. Out of these clusters, 380 have been observed so farat radio wavelengths by the LoTSS-DR2 and EMU surveys, and of these, 120 arefound to host diffuse radio sources (radio relics and radio halos) associatedwith the intracluster medium (ICM). We propose XMM-Netwon observations (162 ksin total) for 9 PSZ2 lowest-mass clusters in which diffuse radio emission hasbeen detected but for which no pointed X-ray observations are available. We willinvestigate the interplay between thermal and nonthermal components of the ICM,the scaling relations, and explore the origin of low mass halos and relics, which are poorly constrained. |

| 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. |
