Scientific paper

We propose to obtain sensitive XMM-Newton observations of the X-ray bright cluster Abell S0592 (RXC J0638.7-5358), which we have selected based on its recent detection by ACT in the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect (SZE) at 145 GHz. Archival Chandra and HST/ACS data reveal that Abell S0592 is undergoing a major merger. There is a significant offset between the peak of the gas distribution and the location of one of the two bright central dominant galaxies. The temperature determined from the Chandra data varies significantly with position. Further detailed study of the X-ray spectrum and morphology of this interacting cluster (along with weak lensing and SZE data) will shed light on the distribution of its baryons and dark matter.
