Scientific paper

An 80 ks XMM-Newton observation, along with a 40 ks Chandra pointing, of the massive group centered on the cD galaxy NGC4839, which is falling into the Coma cluster core, will provide the first excellent map of the merging subcluster and allow the physics and dynamics of this merger to be studied in unprecedented detail. The proposed observations will determine the nature of the hot core in NGC4839, including the AGN outburst power. We also will measure the total (3D) velocity of the merging group and the properties of the shock/sheath region at the interface between the Coma ICM and the group gas, and finally, will compute the gas mass in NGC4839's 400 kpc tail to determine the importance of mixing of cluster gas with the stripped group gas.
