Scientific paper

We propose to perform a detailed investigation of the double relic cluster A3376. We will combine the proposed XMM data with our existing extensive multi-wavelength dataset (0.8, 1.4 & 2.4 GHz radio and 2dF spectra of 380 cluster members) to assess the dynamical state of A3376 and create a detailed dynamical model. This combined sample will provide an unprecedented dataset with which we can give important constraints on the orientation axis within the cluster and, more generally test relic acceleration models. In particular, we will create temperature, pressure and entropy maps for the entire cluster and extract spectra from the shocked regions. These data will be compared to existing data for A3667 to determine similarities and to investigate the subclass of double relic clusters.
