Scientific paper

Through the intensive observation of the cluster of galaxy A1413, we propose to gain the first precise observational description of the outskirts of a galaxy cluster. Precise measurements of the density, the temperature, the mass and the entropy will allow us to investigate the physics at play in these external regions. We aim to provide the first X-ray observational constraints on the limit of virialization and thermalization of clusters, on the feedback due to galaxy formation, on the dynamical and thermodynamical states of the accreted material from the cosmic web. We will confront this work with up to date predictions from numerical simulations in the framework of the formation and the evolution of large-scale structure.
