Scientific paper

We propose to jointly observe with Chandra/ACIS and XMM/EPIC the unique large-scale filamentary network of galaxies associated with the cluster ZwCl~2341.1+0000 at z=0.3 discovered from the NVSS radio survey. Our optical/radio data show that it is at least 10 Mpc in extent, and appears to be a supercluster in formation.It is the only known supercluster-scale filament structure where both (RASS) x-rays and evidence of intergalactic magnetic field have been detected. Shocks from forming large structures can accelerate particles to these very high energies. We wish to detect thermal bremsstrahlung from this filament as predicted from our simulations, which also predict micro-gauss magnetic fields, and explore the role of shock-heating in the intergalactic medium.
