Scientific paper

The physics of the compression wave forming at the beginning of major cluster mergers is still not well understood because of the lack of X-ray observations of equal mass merging clusters before the maximum core collapse. We propose to observe with XMM-Newton two carefully selected clusters displaying a bi-modal distribution in the optical and X-ray. These data and parallel optical observations will allow for the first time to directly determine the physical conditions (such as density, temperature, gas mixing) in the compressed hot gas and the interplay of the compression waves with the star formation rates of the galaxies.
