Scientific paper

We propose snapshot observations of 5 optically selected fossil group candidates. These observations will complete a sample of 15 intermediate-redshift fossil group candidates identified from the maxBCG optical cluster survey, 10 of which are scheduled via Chandra GTO time in Cycle 10. These observations will provide estimates of the diffuse X-ray flux for much deeper XMM-Newton follow-up, and they will also provide an estimate of the plasma temperature. They will also help constrain the predicted relation between BCG dominance and halo formation epoch. This snapshot project requires the spatial resolution of Chandra to separate diffuse emission from point source emission; when combined with the sensitivity of XMM-Newton follow-up, it will optimize the usage of these observatories.
