A3667, Xmm-Newton Proposal 02068501

Scientific paper

One of the interesting Chandra discoveries is the existence of sharp gas density edges in some galaxy clusters. There are two different types of such features, depending on the sign of their temperature jump: a cold front and a merger bow-shock. A3667 is the most striking example of cold front and with a possible evidence of a bow shock. Existing Chandra and XMM observation do not allow to firmly establish the nature of the outer surface brightness jump: we thus propose a long on-axis observation to exploit the large effective area of EPIC in order to measure the sign of the temperature jump across the outer discontinuity.
