| Abstract | We propose a deep X-ray observation focused on spectral analysis of theintracluster medium in a high redshift (z=0.836), massive, SZ-selected cluster.The proposed target is the seventh highest signal-to-noise cluster in therecently published ACT sample of 4195 clusters, exceeded in its redshift rangeonly by El Gordo. ACT-CL J1407.0+10.48 is the fifth highest mass cluster at itsredshift or higher in this sample. The goal of the proposal is a comprehensivestudy of the hot intercluster medium to resolve the nature of this potentiallyexceptional system. |

| 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. |
