Scientific paper

High resolution ROSAT data of IC1262 have revealed an unexpected structure that can be interpreted in the framework of shock-heating of the intergalactic gas as a result of infall of new material, interaction and/or merging. The ACIS-S high resolution image will allow a better determination of the photon distribution on small scales and a measure of (possible) spectral variations. This will give us the required information to study the detailed characteristics of the structure and of the ambient medium to better understand the shock phenomenon. This is probably among the brightest structures of its kind, and a proper determination of its properties will increase our knowledge of shocks in groups and their relation with environmental properties.
